Cuisine & Edibility
Atlantic Halibut
Firm, meaty white flesh with a mild, sweet flavor and very low fat. Endangered status — sustainable sourcing essential; superb pan-seared, poached in butter, or roasted with aromatics.
Muskellunge
Lean, firm white meat with a mild flavor; challenging to prepare due to complex bone structure. Edible when properly filleted — baked or fried — but mostly released by sport anglers.
