About Atlantic halibut
Atlantic halibut is a large flatfish with white, lean flesh that is firm and substantial when raw. Cooked flesh is mild in flavour and separates into large flakes. It is sold as fillets, steaks and other portions, as well as occasionally whole; the presence of skin and bones varies by cut.
Halibut can be baked, grilled, pan-cooked or poached. Fresh and frozen portions are common, while curing or smoking produces distinct preserved forms. Because the fish is naturally lean, cooking time and cut thickness influence the final texture. A page for the fish should not imply that every product is a boneless, skinless fillet.
