Sustainably farmed halibut - whole fish (approx 2.5 kg)
In view of the perilous state of wild halibut, work has been going on since about 1999, to farm halibut. Over the last couple of years, in Shetland, the emphasis has been on developing a sustainable way of farming the halibut, which it is hoped will soon be developed into an organic system. At present there are no organic standards for farmed halibut, but such standards are currently being developed. The farm which produces these fish is a pioneering venture, which has made good progress towards becoming an organic system. The principles are being established, and whilst not yet perfect, we believe this type of enterprise should be supported to enable it to develop towards its goals. We therefore describe the system of production "sustainable". Available as whole fish or fillets.
