Fresh Wild Whole Halibut

How much fillet will I get from a whole halibut?

Recovery on whole halibut is approximately 65 to 70 percent. A 10 pound fish yields roughly 6.5 to 7 pounds of fillet.

What preparation options are there?

Choose fillet, whole or steak cuts. Whole fish ships cold-packed with the head, tail and bones included.

What sizes of whole halibut are available?

Whole halibut is offered in several size ranges, from about 20 to 40 pounds. This is the 30 to 35 pound size.

Is this halibut wild-caught?

Yes. All of our halibut is wild-caught Pacific halibut.

When is fresh halibut in season?

Fresh halibut is available from about mid-March through early November. Outside that window it's not offered fresh.

How should I store it, and how long will it stay fresh?

Refrigerate it as soon as it arrives and cook it within 48 hours of delivery, or freeze it right away. Vacuum-sealed portions can go straight into the freezer. See our Care & Prep guide for details.

How do I keep halibut from drying out?

Halibut is very lean, so it cooks fast. Cook it just until it turns opaque and flakes, and don't overcook it. Butter, olive oil or a quick marinade helps.

When will my order ship, and when will it arrive?

You choose your delivery date at checkout, and we ship your order overnight the day before. Because we only ship Monday through Thursday, delivery is available Tuesday through Friday, so your seafood never sits in a carrier facility over the weekend outside its 48-hour freshness window. Available delivery dates may vary with our seasonal store hours.

How is it shipped?

Overnight only — since fresh seafood has a strict 48-hour safety window once it leaves our store in Seattle. Continental U.S. orders ship via FedEx Priority Overnight or UPS Ground Overnight, depending on your location. Local customers in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are eligible for discounted UPS Ground Overnight rates. See our full shipping rates by region ->

We ship to residential and business addresses across all 48 continental states, plus Alaska and Hawaii at a flat rate. We're unable to ship to PO boxes, FPO, or APO addresses.

What if my order arrives damaged or spoiled?
