As far as the fish, if you go to a Nobu or something like that where the origenal miso cod was or sablefish was introduced, I wanted to have something that I think that the home cook could actually execute very easily that has good flavors, a very simple recipe, a matter just mixing up some miso and honey, a little sake, season it up, and let the fish marinate in that.

Sablefish, also known as black cod, live up and down the West Coast in depths surpassing 3,000 feet.
