MSC certified halibut is fished in the Northeast and northwest Pacific Ocean and Northeast Atlantic.

Atlantic halibut stocks are low in many areas, prompting efforts to stabilise levels. Some areas are recording a return to very high levels thanks to these measures. The Atlantic halibut is one of the world’s largest flatfish, reaching up to 4.6 metres in length.
