About Burbot
Burbot is a freshwater fish used as food, with a long body, mottled skin, and a single barbel beneath the chin. Its edible flesh is pale, lean, and mild in flavour, with a delicate texture when cooked.
It is sold whole, in portions, or as fillets, and can be baked, poached, fried, or otherwise cooked as a white fish. Skin, bones, and preparation affect the usable portion; liver is also eaten in some food traditions but is a distinct edible part from the flesh.
