Gigha Halibut is Back
Limited edition
For 20 years, Gigha Halibut has been a name associated with quality Scottish halibut and a passion for raising exceptional fish. Today, that story continues. With the original broodstock and decades of expertise at Otter Ferry on Loch Fyne, we're bringing a new generation of Gigha Halibut to restaurant kitchens, starting with a limited release of our young halibut.
Meet the juveniles
The same clean, delicate flavour and beautiful white flesh, now in a smaller format.
Weighing approximately 500–800 g, our young halibut offer chefs new possibilities in the kitchen. Their size makes them particularly well suited to cooking whole on the bone, while their firm texture and delicate flavour also lend themselves to a variety of preparations. Whether roasted, grilled or cooked over an open flame, these fish offer a different way to experience Gigha Halibut. This special release is available for a limited time, while stocks last.
A Heritage Worth Continuing
The story of Gigha Halibut began more than 20 years ago, with a dedication to breeding and raising exceptional Scottish halibut.
01
Otter Ferry, Loch Fyne
At Otter Ferry Seafish on the shores of Loch Fyne, years of specialist knowledge and experience went into mastering the challenging process of breeding Atlantic halibut.
02
20 Years of Expertise
From there, the young fish were transferred to the Isle of Gigha, where they were carefully raised in large land-based tanks supplied with fresh Atlantic seawater.
This combination of expertise and careful husbandry helped establish Gigha Halibut as a respected name among some of Britain’s leading chefs, known for its quality, flavour and consistency.
03
Next generation
Although production on Gigha eventually came to an end, the knowledge, expertise and original broodstock remained at Otter Ferry, preserving the foundations of Gigha Halibut for the next generation.
A New Chapter for Gigha Halibut
The return of Gigha Halibut begins with a limited release of young fish, but our ambitions extend well beyond this first offering. At Otter Ferry, a new generation of halibut is being carefully raised, with plans to bring fish of different sizes to market in the years ahead. Building on more than two decades of experience, we're looking forward to continuing the Gigha Halibut story.
Back in the Kitchen
Gigha Halibut has long been appreciated by chefs who value quality, provenance and carefully raised Scottish seafood. Now, we're pleased to see a new generation of our halibut finding its way back into restaurant kitchens.
“I am so happy to have Gigha Halibut back in the kitchen, the juveniles are a joy to cook and serve, it feels so generous to present a whole fish on the bone like this. The flavour and texture are excellent and as unparalleled as ever. Easily better than Dover Sole and a fraction of the cost to the environment and conscience.”
