Pacific halibut · Anchorage
Pacific halibut is Alaska's anchor white fish, sweet and firm with the largest fillet of any flatfish, served pan-seared, beer-battered or alderwood-fired across Anchorage seafood houses.
Pacific halibut has been a staple of Alaska Native diets for thousands of years; Homer 225 miles south of Anchorage claims the title of Halibut Capital of the World. The commercial fleet runs May through September. Glacier BrewHouse, opened 1996, has built its alderwood-fired halibut into Anchorage's most recognised plate.
