Prepping Halibut

Before cooking your halibut, it’s important to take the time to thaw the fillets. To thaw in the refrigerator, remove the desired number of fillets from the plastic packaging and place them in the refrigerator overnight. For faster thawing, remove the desired number of fillets from the packaging and place them in a sealable plastic bag. Immerse the bag in cold water for approximately 30 minutes. Once thawed, cook, and consume within one to two days.

Brush your halibut fillets lightly with oil or butter. Add salt and pepper, your favorite seasoning blend, or our Signature Seafood Rub with Citrus and Herb.
