Halibut

Halibut is in the same flat fish family as flounder but that is where the resemblance ends. It is a larger, fleshy fish that can actually weigh up to 1000 lbs. Average size for halibut is about 50 to 100 lbs. however. It is a prized sport fish in the cold waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific.

Halibut has a clean, white fish flavor and is very meaty. It is especially good pan roasted and is amazingly low in fat, with a high percentage of Omega-3 fats.
