THIS IS THE LARGEST FLAT FISH AND CAN BE AS BIG AS 8 FEET LONG, 4 FEET ACROSS AND UP TO 600 POUNDS. MARKET SIZE ON THESE FISH IS USUALLY 10 TO 200 POUNDS. FRESH HALIBUT CAN BE AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND BUT IS COMMONLY SCARCE THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF WINTER. THE MOST HALIBUT IS CAUGHT IN THE NORTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN, ANYWHERE FROM CALIFORNIA TO THE BERING SEA AND ALSO ALONG THE COAST OF JAPAN. THE MEAT IS DENSE AND LEAN, VERY MILD AND SWEET.
