Alaska Gold™ Halibut Portions

It’s amazing the care that Alaska Gold puts into making sure these boneless/skinless halibut portions are as well taken care of as possible. I don’t know how they do it. So convenient. I’ve made their seared halibut recipe in the recipe videos on their website several times and it always comes out just perfect. Thank you Alaska Gold for the service and quality and care you put into this fish.

This was our first (and not last!) purchase of halibut from Alaska. We live on the Oregon coast and have been buying fresh halibut locally off the fishing boats. Then we go to all the effort of cleaning them ourselves, deboning, and vacuum packing in individual servings. The halibut was not guaranteed to be “same day” and may be a few days old. We haven’t been pleased with the taste and quality. The Alaska Gold Halibut is PERFECT! The method of processing and freezing so quickly preserves the great flavor. And having them cleaned, de-boned, and vacuum packed in individual serving portions is so convenient! The 2-day shipping brought a box to the house that was absolutely freezing when I opened it. Colder than my deep freezer! All I had to do was unpack, put them in the deep freeze and voila’! I was all done! This halibut is exquisite. We will be ordering on a regular basis. We will even order from Arizona when we go there for a few months in the winter since the boxes are so well packed. Fresh Alaska fish in Arizona will be such a treat!!

The halibut was delivered in perfect frozen condition here in Iowa. I particularly liked the nearly uniform 8 oz pieces. Much better than getting pieces in highly variable weights like I had received from another seller. Tastes great!

Alaska Gold’s halibut portions always have a mild taste that is never fishy. The texture is firm and overall, is easy and quick to prepare. We like it seared in olive oil and butter with lemon pepper. Four minutes on each side and you have a fast, nutritious protein. I highly recommend this fish.

I’m telling anyone who listens where I buy my Halibut and all about the delicious qualities of this beautiful piece of divinity from the sea! Again, this is the very BEST Halibut I’ve ever purchased and plan to continue as a patron of this company. My second purchase proved to be ‘second’ to none! I am so thrilled to have learned about this company as I adore these Thick cut, mild flavored, individually quick frozen, portioned Halibut a.k.a., Fillet Mignon from the sea……

Thanks very much for the opportunity to tell you and the rest of your potential customers just how great your product and customer service was. I have ordered seafood from other suppliers in Alaska and without a doubt you do a much better job in preparing the product and in your shipping protocols. I ordered the 30 pound bulk shipment of halibut and each individual piece was flawless. There were no thin tail sections and half cuts at all , each fillet was ready for the grill!
The shipment arrived on time and the packing was first rate. There was no amount of thawing whatsoever. In fact, the dry ice took half a day to evaporate once I placed it outside to 80 degree heat. The halibut want directly from the shipping carton to my freezer—perfection!! I have been in Sitka many times and have seen your operation first hand(even shared a glass or two of Arrogant Bastard with some of your workers. Good folks!! You are to be commended for your commitment to sustainable fisheries and environmental awareness. My family will do our part as we truly believe in your saying that: Friends do not let friends eat farmed fish”. Keep up the good work and we will be ordering more from you very soon.

For years I have cooked halibut, salmon and black cod for parties and fund raisers. It isn’t unusual for me to BBQ fish for 100+ people for non-profits to help raise money or as a reward to big donors. It isn’t unusual for someone to take a tiny serving of fish while saying, “I’m not much of a fan of fish.” And then a few minutes later they are in line for more. I have a big BBQ and only use charcoal that has no chemicals as binders. Because people want to ask about the fish, how I fix it, or how it was caught, it is easy to get sidetracked and not stay focused on my job as chef. Years ago I started cooking fish in aluminum foil “boats.” That allowed me to season different portions in different ways, and because the juices from the fish were caught in the “boat” the fish would stay more moist than when cooking was directly over the coals. Cooking that way gave me a margin for error if I let it cook a bit too long. The fillets wouldn’t have grill marks, but I never had a complaint about that. I keep the recipes simple, often using just some good quality olive oil, maybe some lemon pepper, and on the salmon I typically drizzle some honey over the fish towards the end of the cooking. I also find that slices of oranges add a nice touch.
Because I cook so much fish for total strangers, I always try to explain to them why they should eat hook-and-line caught wild fish….from SPC.

I never liked halibut, last summer in New York City I had some that was great and decided to order some from your site because we truly enjoyed the salmon and the canned tuna. As soon as I received it we cooked some relatively plain except for capers and vegenaise spread on it during cooking. It was excellent and we really love it.

My family loves the halibut! Perfect portion sizes that grill up perfect everytime. I would recommend the halibut. It is a light tasting fish and even my kids like it.
