Halibut Fillet
Halibut isn't always available - please call or text 07354 849465 to check current availability. Halibut are the giants of the flatfish world and one of the most impressive fish we ever put on the counter. We're incredibly particular about the Halibut we buy. In fact, there are days when our suppliers won't even offer us fish because they know it won't meet our standards. We'd rather wait for the right fish than compromise on quality. Our preferred fish are generally between 18kg and 40kg in size. At this weight the flesh develops the beautiful texture and thick, luxurious loins that make Halibut so highly regarded by chefs and fishmongers alike. Firm, meaty and wonderfully elegant, Halibut has a delicate flavour that sits somewhere between a traditional flatfish and a premium white fish. The large flakes hold together beautifully during cooking, making it equally suited to roasting, pan-frying, poaching or grilling. It's a fish that commands respect, both in the market and on the plate. We've been known to spend well over £1,000 on a single fish and when the quality is right, it's worth every penny. If you're looking for something truly special, Halibut rarely disappoints. One of the finest fish in the sea and one of our absolute favourites. Did You Know... The name Hippoglossus hippoglossus translates roughly as 'horse tongue', a reference to the fish's enormous size and distinctive shape. Halibut are the largest flatfish in the world and can exceed 100kg in weight, although the fish we prefer are considerably smaller and offer far superior eating quality. Despite spending most of their lives lying flat on the seabed, Halibut are powerful predators capable of swimming significant distances in search of food. The very best Halibut combines size, age and condition to produce the thick pearly-white loins that chefs prize so highly. When it comes to Halibut, bigger isn't always better.

Simply pan-fry the fillets in a little rapeseed oil, skin-side down, until the skin is crisp and golden. Turn and cook for a further minute or two to add a little colour and finish the cooking. The flesh should remain moist and just beginning to flake. Like many premium fish, Halibut is at its best when it isn't overcooked.
Serve with buttery baby potatoes, seasonal asparagus and a simple Hollandaise sauce. If you're spending good money on exceptional fish, let the fish be the star of the show.
Elegant, understated and utterly delicious.
A lean white fish that’s naturally high in protein and a good source of B vitamins, magnesium and selenium... a really special fish that's also a great choice for nutrition.
