Halibut cheeks are a true gourmet treat. Cut from the head of fresh halibut, they have a unique texture and flavor, similar to a scallop.

Our wild Alaskan halibut cheeks are perfect for sautéing with wine, butter, and garlic. Or lightly breaded and pan fried for a great meal.

5 1lb packs, with each pound approximately 2 cheeks. 5lbs total

Wine Pairing: Paradise Chardonnay, Veritas Sauvignon Blanc, True Heritage Rose

Fresh halibut cheeks are cut, skinned, vacuum packaged, and frozen.

Every order is packed in insulated, eco-friendly boxes with liners, air cushions and more than 5 lbs. of dry ice to keep every item continuously frozen until it arrives at your door the next day. And if you’re not at home when delivered, it’ll stay frozen for up to 30 hours (or until you arrive home from work).

The product(s) inside will be in a chilled state. If you're planning to enjoy your seafood within the same day, then place it in the fridge. If you'd like to hold off a few days before eating, keep the products in the freezer until you're ready to dig in.

Please note: Our packages contain dry ice, so do not touch it with your bare hands to avoid risk of burning.

About Cold Country Salmon

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

We are a small scale fishing operation working the crystal clear blue waters of Southeast Alaska. Local owner/fisherman Zac Culbertson lives just outside of Charlottesville where, when not fishing, he runs a small acreage family farm. Every June we head to Elfin Cove to fish on the coves and bays of Southeast Alaska. Our season lasts from mid June until the end of August with the peak occurring in Mid July. During the peak we often fish for 2-3 days straight without stopping. While we fish we are constantly selecting the very best of our catch to bring home to sell to our local customers throughout Virginia and D.C. at our farmers markets and local deliveries and with our expansion into a new storage and shipping facility we can now ship our fish to any address east of the Mississippi.

BEYOND SUSHI GRADE

The fish that we select are immediately bled on board our boat, filleted and packed in ice. On shore we immediately package and freeze our salmon in Pelican, Alaska. This very special handling process is what sets our fish apart from any other wild caught salmon available on the market. Literally nobody in the industry has such exacting standards. This is why we designate our fish as "Beyond Sushi Grade". Wild Caught Salmon from large retailers generally passes through large-scale commercial processors who don’t adhere to these exacting standards resulting in lower quality fish.

SUSTAINABLE FOR YEARS TO COME

The state of Alaska mandates that all fisheries be sustainable, and biologist managed to ensure its future viability. Farmed fish is categorically banned throughout Alaska to prevent the pollution of not only the coastal watershed but the wild salmon genome.

BEYOND SALMON

In addition to our superior King, Sockeye, and Coho salmon, we are able to supply our customers with several line caught species of fish including: sablefish, halibut, pacific cod, and pacific rockfish, caught by a small community of fishing boats out of Elfin Cove. In addition to our raw seafood we offer local Virginia seafood and local artisan foods like beef, bison, lamb, pork, coffee, desserts, vegetables, oils specialty spices, sauces and adult beverages to complement your meal!
