Halibut Fish Fillets - Greenland - Skinless & Boneless White Fish

₱ 1,615 /kg

Sourced from cold Arctic waters around Greenland, these Greenland halibut fillets are wild-caught and processed into skinless, boneless portions for ease of preparation. The flesh is naturally white with a mild flavor and soft, tender texture.

Compared to other halibut species, Greenland halibut has a higher fat content, contributing to a gentler flake structure and a slightly richer mouthfeel. It is suitable for a range of cooking methods, including baking, pan-searing, poaching, and steaming.

Chef’s Tips for Perfecting Halibut:

  • Handle with Care: Greenland halibut has a soft, delicate texture. When cooking, turn the fillet only once using a fish spatula to help maintain its structure.
  • Surface Drying: If cooking after thawing, pat the fish dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps improve browning and prevents steaming.
  • Flavor Pairing: Its mild, slightly sweet profile pairs well with fresh and acidic ingredients such as lemon, capers, dill, or light white wine sauces.

Common Questions

Can Greenland halibut be cooked from frozen?

Yes, it can be cooked directly from frozen using methods such as baking or steaming. However, thawing the fish beforehand is generally recommended for more even cooking and better texture.

How does Greenland halibut differ from Pacific halibut?

Greenland halibut has a higher fat content, resulting in a softer texture and more moist finish when cooked. Pacific halibut, by comparison, is leaner and typically firmer.

Are the fillets fully boneless?

The fillets are trimmed to remove bones and skin. As with all fish products, occasional small pin bones may remain, so a quick check before serving is recommended.


Versatile Kitchen Pairings

Our Greenland Halibut Fillets adapt seamlessly to healthy, rapid, or sophisticated cooking applications:

Gourmet Herb-Baked

Brush the frozen or thawed fillets with extra virgin olive oil, top with chopped parsley, tarragon, and garlic, then bake in a hot oven for a light, flaky dinner centerpiece.

Clean Ginger Steaming

Place fillets into a bamboo steamer over simmering water. Top with julienned ginger, scallions, and a light dash of premium light soy sauce for a light, mild-flavored preparation.

Classic Pan-Sear

Thaw completely, pat surface dry, and sear in a hot pan with clarified butter. Baste continuously to develop a well-browned exterior.

How to Prepare & Cook Halibut Fillets

01
No-Thaw Oven Baking: Preheat the oven to 210°C. Coat your frozen fillets lightly with oil, arrange them top-side up in a baking dish, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.
02
No-Thaw Steaming: Suspend frozen fillets inside a covered steaming basket set directly above boiling, simmering water. Steam continuously for 12 to 18 minutes until flaky.
03
No-Thaw Microwaving: Microwave at medium-high power (around 700–900W) for 4–7 minutes depending on thickness, turning halfway through. Results may vary.
04
Thawed Pan Cooking: Defrost the fish overnight in your refrigerator. Cook the fillets in a heated pan for approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side, flipping once, until the exterior is evenly browned and golden.

Featured Recipe: Classic Pan-Seared Lemon Butter Halibut

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack Greenland Halibut Fillets, fully thawed
  • 1.5 tbsp Olive oil or clarified butter
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1 clove Garlic (lightly crushed)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice

01
Overnight Thawing: Let the halibut fillets thaw gradually in the refrigerator overnight until completely defrosted. Before cooking, dry the surface well using clean paper towels.

The Benefits of Arctic Wild Sourcing

Understanding key characteristics of Greenland halibut and its sourcing environment.

01
Cold-Water Habitat: Harvested from Arctic and North Atlantic waters around Greenland, where the species naturally develops in low-temperature marine environments.
02
Naturally Higher Fat Content: Greenland halibut contains more fat than lean white fish, including polyunsaturated fats such as omega‑3 fatty acids. This contributes to a softer texture and helps retain moisture during cooking.
03
Convenient Preparation: Fillets are typically processed as skinless, boneless portions and vacuum-sealed for straightforward storage and preparation.

Storage & Shelf Life

Maintain quality and freshness with proper handling.

01
Freezer Storage: Keep frozen at -18°C (0°F) or below in sealed packaging to minimize moisture loss and prevent freezer burn.
02
After-Thawing: Defrost under refrigeration or cold running water. Cook within 1–2 days for best quality.
03
Refreezing: Not recommended, as it may affect texture and moisture, resulting in a softer consistency.

really good
I'm a little bit picky and conservative when it comes to trying out fish varieties but I'm sure am glad to have tried this. It's really good when cooked just right for its natural flavor to surface.
