Distribution and Value of Halibut
HALIBUT — The halibut, the largest and most valuable of the flat fishes, is found in the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is one of the largest species used for food, sometimes weighing over 300 pounds, but the average weight is from 50 to 75 pounds. Small, young fish, weighing from 10 to 20 pounds, are called "chickens", and are much sought after by epicureans. Most of the Pacific Coast catch comes from the fisheries of Washington. Most of the catch is made with lines, while some of the catch is taken with trawls.
