Fresh BC Halibut Season is Here!
Fresh BC Halibut Season is Here!
Spring is a special time for seafood lovers. As the waters of the Pacific awaken with the new season, so too does one of Canada’s most prized catches—wild BC halibut. Here at North Sea Fish & Farms, we’re excited to offer fresh, sustainably sourced halibut straight from the cold, pristine waters of Haida Gwaii to our customers in Calgary.
Why Halibut?
Halibut is a chef’s dream. This firm, flaky white fish is incredibly versatile, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavour that pairs beautifully with a wide range of ingredients. Its meaty texture holds up well to grilling, roasting, and pan-searing, making it a favourite for home cooks and professional chefs alike. Plus, halibut is packed with lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins, making it as nutritious as it is delicious.
Cooking With Halibut
One of the best things about halibut is its adaptability. Whether you’re looking for something simple or a dish that wows at a dinner party, halibut delivers. Here are a few ways to make the most of this seasonal favourite:
- Pan-Seared Perfection: A hot pan, a little oil, and a simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon bring out the best in halibut. Finish with a garlic herb butter for extra richness.
- Grilled Greatness: Halibut’s firm texture makes it ideal for grilling. Marinate with olive oil, citrus, and fresh herbs, then grill until just opaque for a smoky, flavourful meal.
- Oven-Roasted Elegance: Coat halibut fillets with a crust of Dijon mustard, panko, and fresh herbs, then roast until golden brown. Serve with roasted seasonal vegetables for a satisfying dish.
- Halibut Tacos: Lightly battered and fried, halibut makes the perfect base for tacos. Top with fresh slaw, avocado, and a zesty lime crema for a fresh and fun meal.
- Classic Fish & Chips: Elevate the classic by using fresh halibut for a crispy, golden fish and chips experience.
