Halibut

Choose the best

Choose halibut steaks cut from the middle of the fish rather than the tail which is full of bones. Buy from a reputable fishmonger who sources fish from sustainable stocks. Atlantic halibut is an endangered species, while halibut fished around Greenland is considered 'threatened'. Look for farmed or line-caught North Pacific halibut, that's been certified.

Prepare it

Halibut has a tendency to dry out quickly when cooking so steaks and fillets should be cooked with wine or stock to retain moisture.

Store it

Wrapped in foil, in the fridge.

Cook it

Baked, poached or pan fried.

Alternatives

Try cod or haddock.
