Profile:
Native to B.C., Pacific Halibut is a large, flatfish species, regularly weighing in at over 150 lbs.
About:
Pacific Halibut is an excellent source of high-quality protein and minerals, and is low in sodium, fat, and calories.
Did you know?
- As juveniles, halibut swim upright with an eye on each side of their body and as they mature, they start to swim flat to the ground and their bottom eye migrates to face the sky.
- At the dock, a government-designated observer tags every halibut with a unique serial number for enforcement and traceability.
- The commercial wild Pacific halibut fishery is closed during the winter months when mature halibut spawn, to protect the population.
