Overview

Atlantic halibut sustainability varies. Avoid wild-caught Atlantic halibut as its lifecycle makes it highly vulnerable and they are heavily overfished. The Best Choice is farmed halibut from Norway that is GLOBALG.A.P. certified. Halibut is not common in UK supermarkets, but you may find it at fishmongers or in seafood restaurants.
