Halibut is the largest of the flatfish, with firm, dense white flesh and a clean, mild flavour. It has more body than cod and a meatier bite, and the fine flake holds together well in the pan. The flesh is lean, so take it off the heat as it turns opaque and it stays moist.

We cut it at the Barnes counter as fillet portions, skin on or skinned, or as steaks on the bone, the cut that holds the most moisture through cooking.

Roast a thick portion at 190C for 10 to 14 minutes, pan-fry three to four minutes a side or grill a steak on the bone. Brown butter, capers and hollandaise all suit its lean flesh.

Origin, cooking and recipe

Origin and species

Halibut is the largest of the flatfish, with firm, dense white flesh and a clean, mild flavour. It has more body than cod and a meatier bite.

How to cook it

The flesh is lean, so take it off the heat as it turns opaque and it stays moist. Roast a thick portion at 190C for 10 to 14 minutes, pan-fry three to four minutes a side or grill a steak on the bone, the cut that holds the most moisture. Brown butter, capers and hollandaise all suit it.

Recipe

The Journal guide to grilling fish covers steaks on the bone like halibut.

Storage and preparation

Keep it wrapped on the coldest shelf of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf at the back, and use it within one to two days. It freezes well for up to three months. Wrap it tightly, freeze it quickly and defrost in the fridge overnight.
