Our Seasonal selection: Wild Halibut
For your health
- High in nutrients, halibut is low in overall calories, fat and sodium.
- Halibut is a very good source of high quality protein and is rich in important nutrients including the minerals selenium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium; the B vitamins B12, niacin, and B6; and the beneficial omega-3 essential fatty acids.
- Cold-water fish like halibut are a rich source of the omega-3 essential fats, a form of essential fatty acids that have been proven to reduce the risk of heart disease and other forms of illness.
- Eating halibut that is broiled or baked may reduce risk of atrial fibrillation, the most common type of heart arrhythmia, especially in the elderly, according to a 2004 Harvard study.
- In addition to halibut's omega-3s, the selenium it contains is a necessary component in one of the body's most important antioxidants--glutathione peroxidase--that is critical for a healthy liver. Selenium also helps prevent cancer and heart disease.
