Greenland Halibut

Royal Greenland UK Ltd Stand: 3428

Greenland halibut, (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), is a large flatfish found in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, especially in Greenland, Iceland and Northern Norway. Here, it thrives in the ice-cold, clear depths of the vast fiords as well as in the open sea. The cold environment makes it grow very slowly, which intensifies the flavour.

Greenland Halibut primarily lives near the bottom, but unlike other flatfish it is also found pelagically. It is a ferocious predator and eats almost anything from shellfish to other Greenland halibut. It can grow up to 45 kg, but the normal catching size is 1,5-6 kg. Greenland halibut is often confused with Atlantic halibut, but it is a totally different species. Greenland halibut is a fatty fish with a high content of Omega-3 and a tender texture, whereas Atlantic halibut is lean and quite firm.

Royal Greenland’s Greenland halibut comes from the northernmost parts of the Atlantic and Arctic Ocean, where it is caught in the oceans around Greenland, Norway and Eastern Canada with either offshore trawl or inshore with line or nets.
