Halibut Cheeks

Halibut is a crowd pleaser, it is a very versatile fish that everyone loves! Halibut is prized for its delicate sweet tasting meat, large flakes, and firm but tender texture. It's a nice lean fish, with mild flavor, and a great source of protein.Halibut cheeks have the same delicate flavor as halibut, with texture like a scallop. Great sauteed in butter and garlic.

Wild Alaskan Halibut cheeks are a rare treat. The flavor is mild and sweet like halibut, but the texture is similar to scallops.
— Beautiful white meat
— Mild, delicate, sweet flavor with a scallop-like texture
— Lean meat, a good source of protein

1 lb bag:
— Arrive frozen, good for 1 year in the freezer
— 5 to 8 boneless and skinless cheeks
— Hand cut from the head of the halibut

Fish

All our fish are wild and sustainably caught in Alaska by ourselves and other quality fishermen we know and trust. 

We own a small custom processing facility (60 North Seafoods) in Cordova, Alaska. Located right at the source, we immediately clean, cut, portion, wrap in parchment, and flash freeze for premium quality.

Halibut

We longline for halibut from spring through fall in the icy Alaskan waters of the Pacific Ocean. These are wild fish that have lived their lifespan in the most pristine ocean waters of Alaska. 

Fishing Method

Halibut are harvested by longline. Longlining has a rich history in the fishing community and is known as one of the most environmentally friendly methods of fishing. Each fish is brought aboard one at a time and placed on ice. 

Handling and Recipes

Your fish will arrive frozen on dry ice.  Place it in the freezer upon arrival. Properly frozen vacuum-sealed packages are good in the freezer for up to one year. 

Defrost
— Keep frozen until ready to eat
— Thaw overnight in the refrigerator (cut open bag to let air in) or 30 minutes in COLD water (bag sealed)

Cook
Remove from packaging, rinse in cold water and pat dry

Cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F
• Grill on high heat for 10-15 minutes
• Bake at 350 for 15-25 minutes
• Saute on medium-high for 3-5 minutes on each side

For easiest removal, pull pin-bones after cooking (if present)

Halibut has a firm texture that lends itself well to all kinds of grilling, frying, and baking recipes.

We ship directly to your door in insulated boxes. All orders are shipped on Mondays. Orders placed by noon (PST) on Monday will be shipped the same day, orders placed later will be shipped the following Monday. We will send an email with the tracking number on the day it ships so you know when to expect it. 

We use sustainable green cell foam to insulate our frozen boxes instead of styrofoam. A combination of pellet dry ice and booster packs (pcm gel packs that hold below freezing) are used to keep fish frozen during transit.

Smoked salmon jars are shipped separately from frozen products because the glass could break due to the very low freezing temperature of dry ice.
