Halibut
One of the most delectable and versatile fish to cook is halibut because of its firm,
mild and white flesh. To make a simple yet delightful gourmet meal, halibut is
cooked in the crock pot with a luscious and creamy white wine sauce in this recipe.
Halibut is a large flat fish. Its range in sizes depends on its age and kind. The
California halibut is relatively smaller. While the Pacific halibut is gigantic in size
and can grow up to more than 500 pounds. Most of the time, halibut is sold as
steaks in markets and groceries.
Halibut is very healthy. It can be included in the weekly diet because it is
sustainable, especially the Pacific halibut. Most of the halibuts sold in the market
are Pacific, specifically Alaskan fishery. California halibut is available in California
and usually caught between 4 and 12 pounds. But these kinds of halibut are sold
as fillet since they are relatively small in size. Both kinds of halibuts are similar in
taste and texture. Halibut can be sold fresh or frozen. This kind of fish stores very
well as long as it is vacuum-sealed. It can retain its quality for a year. Lots of online

In this recipe, the halibut is cooked in the slow cooker or crock pot. It contains very
little oil because it is a lean fish. It can dry out pretty fast when cooked improperly
or too long. While it is cooking, the white wine sauce is added to the dry halibut
steaks. It also provides moisture and flavor, allowing the meat to absorb the
flavors well. There is no need to marinade the halibut like many recipes require. In
the process of slow cooking, the flavors the fish will penetrate deep into the flesh
and make a really tasty dish. Also enhancing the moisture and flavor of the fish is
the lemon added at the end.
