Halibut cheeks are a true Alaskan delicacy. Each halibut yields only two cheeks, and the muscle works constantly during the fish's life, producing flesh that is denser and silkier than the fillet, with a hint more sweetness. Cheeks are prized in fine dining for good reason, and they are typically the first cut to sell out.

Size: 1 lb

For the standard cut, see our Halibut Fillet. For utility halibut, try Shredded Halibut for cakes and dips.

Ships frozen in insulated packaging via FedEx, 1-2 day delivery.

About Halibut Cheeks

Halibut cheeks are a true delicacy. Each halibut yields only two of them, and the muscle works constantly during the fish's life, producing flesh that is denser and silkier than the fillet, with a hint more sweetness. Cheeks are prized in fine dining for good reason, and they are typically the first cut to sell out. Treat them gently: a quick sear in butter, a brush of olive oil under a broiler, or a fast pan-fry with garlic and citrus. They cook in minutes.

Pacific Halibut

Pacific Halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) is the largest flatfish in the world. Adult fish average 20 to 100+ pounds, with records over 500 pounds. They live on the cold continental shelf of the North Pacific, mostly between 100 and 900 feet deep, where they can live 25 years or longer. Halibut are born with one eye on each side of their body. As they mature, the left eye migrates over to the right, and they spend the rest of their life lying flat on the seabed with both eyes facing up.

The Alaska fishery is managed under the International Pacific Halibut Commission, with strict quotas, individual fishing rights, and ongoing stock assessment. Every fish we sell is longline-caught using baited hooks set along the seabed. Each halibut is brought aboard one at a time and checked individually for quality. Bycatch is minimal.
