Halibut

Peak Season: March through November

Halibut are one of the world’s most prized white fish. With firm, dense flesh and large meaty flakes, halibut can be prepared many different ways. Our favorite ways to enjoy halibut include seared and served with a buttery pan sauce, grilled and served with tangy salsa, simmered in chowders, curries, and stews, and even beer battered and fried. Thanks to its proximity to the continental shelf, Sitka is one of the world’s great halibut ports. And unlike Atlantic halibut from the East Coast of the US, all of Sitka’s halibut are caught one by one on hook and line.
