FAQ

What temperature should halibut be grilled at?

The most traditional way to prepare halibut is to pan-fry a fillet and serve it with a simple sauce over a bed of greens.

Do you leave the skin on halibut when grilling?

While you can cook at high heat and then finish at lower heat, we like the simplicity of grilling at one temperature. The ideal temperature for grilled halibut is medium high heat, or 375 to 450 degrees.

How do you know when halibut is done on the grill?

If you prefer to eat halibut without the skin, use a sharp knife to separate the skin from the flesh of the fish. A fillet knife works best for this, but any sharp knife will work. Halibut skin is edible and becomes nice and crispy when it is grilled.
