Includes: One halibut fillet of approximately 1.5 pounds, or two halibut fillets of slightly over 1.5 pounds in total.

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.  This halibut is truly in a class by itself.  

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.

Fish shelf life is actually longer than most people realize, but there's a difference between acceptable shelf life and optimum quality, and very few Americans have ever tasted seafood of optimum quality, especially something as luxurious as inshore Maine halibut. Here at Downeast Dayboat, we don't sell it unless Togue loves it. 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 1.35 pounds, no larger than 1.65 pounds, OR two pieces averaging a little over 1.5 pounds.  Invite some friends over for a fabulous, impressive feast, or cut into portions and freeze some for later.

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.
