Halibut

Halibut are an unusual game fish that many people have on their bucket list or list of fishing trips they do each year and rightfully so! Everyone knows they are one of the best fish to prepare for the table and the white mild flaky flesh allows you to experiment with many different recipes and cooking methods. Halibut have a very large range from the northern waters of Alaska's Bering Sea all the way down the coast to California. Typically the better fishing for halibut is farther north from the coastal waters of British Columbia up to Alaska. The populations and size of Pacific Halibut in US waters from the coast of Washington to California are fairly low and although you can fish them here certain rules and regulations have been put in place to protect the fishery. The Pacific halibut is much larger than its cousin, the California halibut. Halibut is a firm, white fish with a mild flavor. It may be a good choice for people who do not usually enjoy fish but would like to add it to their diet. Halibut contains 18.56 g of protein per 100 g and is also a good source of potassium and vitamin D.
