About Greenland halibut

Greenland halibut is a cold-water flatfish sold as a seafood ingredient, usually as fillets or steaks. Its flesh is pale, tender, and relatively rich in oil compared with many lean white fish, with a mild flavour. Raw flesh is soft and cooks to a moist, flaky texture, though the result depends on handling and cooking method.

It is commonly baked, pan-cooked, poached, or smoked, and may be sold fresh, frozen, or cured. Those forms and cooking methods affect moisture and fat measured in a serving. Comparisons should distinguish raw fish from cooked or smoked products and identify whether the sample includes skin or other edible portions.
