Halibut
Mild and slightly sweet with a firm, meaty texture that stays intact through most cooking methods.
Lens analyzedHalibut is a large, mild-flavored flatfish with firm, lean white flesh, sold as thick fillets or steaks. Its firm texture holds up well to grilling, baking, and pan-searing without falling apart the way flakier fish can.
Where it comes from
Halibut has long been harvested from cold northern waters of the Pacific and Atlantic, and it became a prized North American seafood item known for its firm texture and mild flavor, often priced higher than more common fish.
Buying it
Look for fillets or steaks that appear moist and translucent rather than dry or discolored, and check for a clean ocean smell rather than a strong fishy odor.
Storing it
Refrigerate fresh halibut on ice and cook it within a day or two, or keep frozen halibut solidly frozen until ready to thaw and cook.
Keeps about 2 days in the fridge.
