Why Pacific Halibut? Nutrition & Health Benefits

Pacific halibut is one of the most nutritious fish you can eat. A 3.5 oz (100g) serving delivers approximately 140 calories, 27g of lean protein, and meaningful amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, magnesium, and B vitamins. It is also notably low in mercury compared to larger predatory fish, making it a safe choice for regular consumption by adults and families alike.


How to Choose Quality Pacific Halibut

Whether you're buying fresh or frozen, knowing what to look for ensures the best results in the kitchen:

  • Color: Fresh halibut flesh should be bright white to pale ivory with no yellowing or browning at the edges.
  • Smell: It should smell clean and ocean-fresh — never fishy or ammonia-like.
  • Texture: The flesh should be firm and moist, springing back when pressed.
  • Wild-caught vs. farmed: Pacific halibut is exclusively wild-caught — there is no commercial halibut aquaculture.
  • Flash-frozen: Properly flash-frozen halibut retains peak freshness and is often superior to "fresh" fish that has been sitting on ice for days.
