Long line caught, Alaska

$28.50 per pound 

The firm, flaky texture and mild flavor of Alaskan halibut make it a member favorite. It is commonly considered a premium white fish. The halibut season is nearing its end, so get it while you can. (We may be able to feature it once more before the season ends.)

Halibut is among the largest fish in the sea—it is certainly the largest flat fish. Its usual size ranges from 20 to 40 pounds, but it can grow to 8 feet long. These days Alaskan halibut is strictly managed by the Pacific Halibut Commission.

Halibut flesh is thick, meaty, and firm, and its flavor is sweet and rich. It also affords the cook many preparation options, including grilling, roasting, baking, and broiling. Seafood Watch rates it a “Good Alternative,” and it is MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certified. Moderate mercury level. Kosher.

The Alaskan sockeye season is over, but we still have a couple of weeks left for coho! This coho comes from Alaska's Copper River. Although coho is less fatty than king or sockeye, it is still high in omega-3's. Its flavor is also somewhat milder than either king or sockeye. 

Coho can be cooked in a variety of ways—poached, roasted, grilled, or sautéed. Whichever method you use, remember that its leaner flesh makes it somewhat easier to overcook. Seafood Watch rates it a "Best Choice," and it is MSC certified. Low mercury level. Kosher.
