I prefer cod beer battered and deep fried and sprinkled with malt vinegar
(as in fish & chips) - not very unusual, I know. Never had black cod so I
don't know. Halibut (steaks, anyway) I usually just marinate in bottled
Italian dressing and a bit of lemon juice, then broil.

Sole Piccata

1-1/2 lb. sole fillets
1/4 c. dried breadcrumbs
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs. butter
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbs. white wine
juice of one small lemon
1 Tbs. capers

Sprinkle breadcrumbs on a sheet of waxed paper. Turn the fillets on waxed
paper to lightly coat with crumbs. In a large skillet melt the butter in
oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add sole and cook to a light golden
brown on each side (be careful when turning it as sole can be delicate).
Remove sole to a platter and keep warm. Add wine to pan to deglaze,
stirring to blend well. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and stir intil
blended. Add a slurry of cornstarch dissolved in cold water to lightly
thicken the sauce if necessary. Add capers. Spoon the sauce over the sole
and serve immediately.
