Hippoglossus hippoglossus
Atlantic Halibut, the largest flatfish in the world and one of the most prized proteins ever to grace a plate. They are listed as endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Fortunately for the conscientious diner, Wheeler Seafood has found a year round farmed solution grown at sea in Norway’s Ryfylke Fjords, Nordic Halibut. Nordic Halibut are plumper than their wild cousins, and you will recover more succulent flesh than from a wild fish. It has a distinctly richer flavor than wild halibut, and its higher fat content creates a silkier texture and supple mouthfeel that lends itself to raw applications not part of the traditional portfolio of uses for halibut.
