Kanpachi

If you’re looking for a great grilling fish you might not have tried before, we recommend Forever Oceans Kanpachi! This sustainable, mild and incredibly versatile fish has a higher fat content that lends itself to great grill marks and makes it very forgiving and hard to overcook. Hungry yet? Find this fish exclusively in fine restaurants and at your local Nugget Markets!

Halibut

With a mild flavor and flaky texture, halibut is a popular lean protein, even for those who don’t usually like fish. It’s simple to prepare in foil pouches, in a pan or on the grill with these pro tips:

• Start with a nice, thick cut of halibut and a hot, clean and oiled grill.

• Brush or spray the halibut with avocado oil or another high-smoke point cooking oil.

• Season the fish as desired, then place on the grill at a 45-degree angle.

• After 2–3 minutes, rotate the fish 90 degrees to create a diamond pattern. If it’s sticking a bit, stick with a single set of grill marks instead of the diamond pattern.

• After about 2 more minutes, flip the fish with a spatula, using tongs to support the sides.

• After a few more minutes, your halibut should be ready to rest or serve. Internal temperature should reach 145 degrees at the thickest part of the filet.

NOTE: Use the spatula and tongs combo again when transferring to a plate to prevent the fish from slipping off the spatula and becoming the one that got away.
