East Coast Halibut Cheeks
East Coast Halibut Cheeks
Halibut Cheeks are a delicious delicacy. Normally when you buy Halibut , you purchase the fillets. Did you know that with extra large Whole Halibut, you can also extract the cheeks from the head? Well, now you do!
These beautiful, large medallions of tender white fish have a similar buttery sweet flavor and texture to scallops. Halibut Cheeks tend to have larger and more substantial flakes, while cod cheeks have smaller and more delicate flakes with a meaty and succulent texture. The choice between the two may depend on personal preference and the desired texture for a particular recipe or dish. Not only are they delicious, but they cook up beautifully pan-seared or even breaded and deep fried (Try our best selling Seafood Breading) and served with your favorite dipping sauce.
Due to the varied sizes of the Halibut pieces, it is essential to cut the cheeks into uniform sizes to guarantee even cooking (especially if you are deep frying).
