Halibut

A halibut is a species of large, flatfish found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. It is known for its size and its delicious, firm white flesh. 🐟

Halibut have a flat, diamond-shaped body with both eyes on one side of their head. They are a dark, mottled color on their top side and a pure white on their underside, which helps them to camouflage on the seafloor. They have a small mouth with sharp teeth and a strong tail that they use to propel themselves through the water.

Halibut are demersal fish, meaning they live on or near the bottom of the ocean. They are found in cold, deep waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific. They are carnivores and their diet consists of a variety of fish, crustaceans, and other marine animals.

Halibut is a highly prized commercial fish and is a favorite among anglers and seafood lovers. Due to overfishing, many populations have been in decline, and sustainable fishing practices are now in place to protect the species.
