What Is Wild Pacific Halibut?
Wild Pacific Halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) is a large, flat fish native to the North Pacific Ocean — from the Bering Sea down through Washington and Oregon. Known for its lean, firm texture and clean, slightly sweet flavor, it’s one of the most popular wild fish in American kitchens.
Our Wild Alaskan Halibut portions are hand-cut, flash-frozen, and vacuum sealed in 8 oz servings — perfect for quick meals or family dinners.
Where Our Halibut Comes From
All of our halibut is wild-caught by small-boat fishermen in the icy waters of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, including Southeast Alaska and off the coasts of Washington and Oregon. These fisheries follow strict sustainability guidelines managed by NOAA and state agencies to ensure responsible harvests and long-term population health.
Our halibut is landed in Alaskan ports like Sitka and Juneau, and Pacific Northwest docks such as Bellingham and Newport, where it is portioned, flash frozen and packaged for you.

Wild halibut is an excellent source of high-quality protein, selenium, vitamin D, and B vitamins, while being naturally low in fat and calories. It's a great choice for heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory diets — and a delicious way to get clean fuel for your body.

-
36g of lean protein
-
<2g of fat
-
Omega-3 fatty acids (though lower than salmon or sablefish)

How to Cook Wild Pacific Halibut

Pro Tip: Don’t overcook it! Because it's so lean, halibut tends to dry out quickly — pull it off the heat when it’s opaque and flakes easily with a fork (around 128-130 degrees).

Halibut Fun Facts
Want to impress your dinner guests with a little seafood trivia? Here are a few fun facts about Pacific halibut:
-
They’re born like “normal” fish — with an eye on each side — but as they grow, one eye migrates to the other side, and they become flat!
-
They’re part of the flatfish family, related to flounder and sole, and spend their lives lying camouflaged on the ocean floor.
-
One of the largest flatfish in the world — Pacific halibut can grow over 8 feet long and weigh more than 400 pounds!
-
Halibut are known as "barn doors" in fishing slang because of their massive, wide shape.
-
They’re long-lived fish, with some reaching 30+ years old — another reason sustainable management is so important.
