Characteristics

The California halibut or California flounder yields firm fillets with a mild, delicious flavor.

Alternatives include Alaskan Halibut, Atlantic Halibut, Dover or Petrale Sole.


For Your Menu

Like Pacific Halibut, California Halibut is a very versatile fish. It
tends to be a bit on the leaner side, so although it works with a
variety of cooking applications, be careful not to overcook or it may dry out.


For Your Waitstaff

Celebrate this local fish! Pair it with a fantastic California wine or local beer!


For Your Retail Display

A great option for customers looking for a milder fish to grill – Calfornia Halibut is nice and firm, but not as meaty as other grilling
favorites.
