This Week’s Fresh Fish Offering

~ California Halibut ~

 Halibut are caught locally here on the California coastline by Giovanni’s local fisherman. They are unloaded across Giovanni’s very own docks and filleted within hours of being caught. The freshness and quality of California Halibut is unmatched by any other fish. Just imagine Alaskan Halibut but SO fresh that the fillets look translucent white.

Fillets are very mild and firm, and best cooked on the barbecue or baked in the oven. You can even deep-fry the Halibut fillets for a fantastic fish taco or fish ‘n chips platter! California Halibut is high in nutrients and low in calories and fat. Really doesn’t get any better than this in the seafood industry!
