The two Pacific halibut preparations are a fair sample of the method: one plain off the grill, one with baby bok choy in a Madras curry broth. Same fish, same fire, two entirely different dinners.
Pacific halibut in the North Pacific
NOAA Fisheries describes Pacific halibut as the largest flatfish species, native to the North Pacific and caught by commercial, recreational and subsistence fishermen. Its profile, last updated by NOAA on September 28, 2026, reports approximately 20 million pounds of commercial landings in 2024, with approximately 95 percent landed in Alaska. Those figures describe the 2024 harvest, valued at $78 million in NOAA's commercial fishing landings database. NOAA calls Pacific halibut one of the North Pacific's most valuable commercial and recreational fishery resources. The profile also explains that the IPHC sets catch limits annually for fisheries in United States and Canadian waters, using scientific information about stock abundance and potential yield. The seafood notes cover halibut alongside crab gear, frozen seafood weights and commercial shellfish controls.
