Halibut Cheeks

Halibut is a crowd-pleaser, it is a very versatile fish that everyone loves! Halibut is prized for its delicate sweet tasting meat, large flakes, and firm but tender texture. It's a nice lean fish with a mild flavor and a great source of protein. Halibut cheeks have the same delicate flavor as halibut, with a texture like a scallop. Great sauteed in butter and garlic.

Wild Alaskan Halibut cheeks are a rare treat. The flavor is mild and sweet like halibut, but the texture is similar to scallops.

• Beautiful white meat
• Mild, delicate, sweet flavor with a scallop-like texture
• Lean meat, is a good source of protein
• Sushi quality
• Wild and sustainable, never farmed!

1 lb bag:

• Arrive frozen, good for 1 year in the freezer
• 5 to 8 boneless and skinless cheeks
• Hand cut from the head of the halibut
• Carefully wrapped in parchment paper prior to vacuum sealing. This extra step ensures the fish never touches plastic and provides an extra oxygen barrier that locks in premium quality.

Halibut

We longline for halibut from spring through fall in the icy Alaskan waters of the Pacific Ocean. These are wild fish that have lived their lifespan in the most pristine ocean waters of Alaska.
