Greenland halibut has a sweet and buttery umami flavour and a soft, pleasant texture. The meat is very white and the flavour fully developed, due to the slow growth in the ice-cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Greenland halibut has a high natural content of the healthy omega-3 fatty acids (2.36 g/100 g) and potassium.
The loin is cut from the dorsal part of the fillet, which is also the thickest and leanest part. Greenland halibut loins are very uniform in size and shape, making them ideal for portion servings and a la carte.
Ingredients
