About Fish, halibut, Atlantic and Pacific, raw

Hippoglossus is the genus of true halibut, the giant right-eyed flatfish that ranks among the largest and most prized food fish in the ocean. It includes the Atlantic halibut and the Pacific halibut, cold-water bottom dwellers that can grow to enormous size and yield thick, snow-white fillets. Halibut is beloved in the kitchen for its firm, meaty texture and clean, mildly sweet flavor that holds together beautifully on the grill, under the broiler, or in a hot pan, and it takes well to everything from simple lemon and butter to bold marinades.

Nutritionally it is a lean, high-quality protein rich in selenium, vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3 fats, with very little saturated fat. Because Atlantic halibut has been heavily overfished, choosing Pacific halibut or certified sustainable sources is the responsible pick. Buy fillets that look moist and translucent with a fresh, sea-clean smell, keep them well chilled, and cook just until the flesh turns opaque and flakes, since this lean fish dries out quickly when overcooked.
