This is only available for the June 11 delivery.

Includes: one skin-on halibut fillet of approximately 1.5 pounds (between 1.4 and 1.6).  One fillet will serve three hungry people or 4 average servings. 

Maine is the only east coast state with an inshore halibut fishery and it lasts just four weeks!  From May 18 to June 13 Maine fishermen bring in the most divine whitefish you'll ever taste: thick, meaty, rich, creamy delicious halibut.

Maine fishermen set and tend their lines when they're out lobster fishing and each fisherman can take only 25 halibut in total, which is why it's so very hard to come by.  

Maine halibut is the king of groundfish and it's a real treat: it's got a large flake and a dense, super sweet flesh.  Since we're offering it skin-on this year, we recommend you try it on the grill, or sear it on a sizzling cast-iron pan and finish in the oven.  Crispy halibut skin is a treat you won't want to miss.

Togue will drive to Cutler on Monday to get fish, they'll be cut on Tuesday and shipped on Wednesday for Thursday delivery.  This is an incredibly quick turn around for halibut: the stuff you see in shops is often 10-14 days out of the water.  Fish shelf life is longer than most people realize, but there's a difference between shelf life and optimum quality, and very few Americans have ever tasted seafood of optimum quality. Here at Downeast Dayboat, that's all we sell. The pure, clean flavor of this fresh inshore halibut will show you just how delicious seafood can be when it's shepherded the way it should be.

Each package will contain a skin-on halibut fillet weighing approximately 1.5 pounds: no smaller than 1.25 pounds, no larger than 1.8 pounds.  Invite some friends over for a fabulous, impressive feast, or cut into portions and freeze some for later.

The week of June 12 is the last week of the season, and if supply is limited, we may need to offer halibut from the Canadian portion of the Gulf of Main.  If that happens we'll let you know, but you can be sure it will still be of excellent quality.

NOTE: halibut is shipped FRESH, and we do not recommend mixing fresh and frozen items in your order. Consider adding fresh lobster meat for a seasonal treat, and check out the Father's Day Bundle for a lobster/scallop roll kit/halibut combo.
