Wild Alaskan Halibut Portions: 5 lb box
Halibut is derived from the middle-English term, haly (“holy”) and butte (“flat fish”), as Halibut was a traditional favorite in Catholic festivities. Halibut are strong swimmers and are able to migrate long distances--resulting in a firm and dense meat that stands up well to bold flavors and a wide range of supplemental ingredients. Its ultra-low fat content makes Halibut an easy choice for boiling, baking, deep-frying or grilling.
