Wild harvested Pacific Halibut has wonderfully firm but flaky white flesh and a mild yet rich flavor. Because they feed voraciously on crabs, shrimp and other fish they build a complex flavor profile and excellent muscle tone. Alaska is known worldwide for the quality of their seafood, and Halibut is no exception.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Alaska
