About Halibut, frozen, wild caught

The Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) is a huge, prized flatfish from the cold North Pacific, with both eyes on its dark upper side and a pale underside. It yields thick, snow-white fillets with a firm, meaty texture and a clean, mild, slightly sweet flavor, making it one of the most sought-after white fish. Halibut is an excellent source of lean protein and provides vitamin B12, selenium, niacin, magnesium, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids, all with very little fat.

Its dense steaks hold together well on the grill and take beautifully to roasting, pan-searing, broiling, and poaching, paired with citrus, herbs, butter, and light sauces. Because it is so lean, halibut dries out quickly and is best cooked just until barely opaque. Pacific halibut is generally well managed, making it a sound choice over more stressed Atlantic stocks. Choose firm, translucent white fillets with a fresh smell, and store halibut well chilled, using it within a day or two.
