At the annual fishing festival, halibuters proudly displayed their carved boats and nets.

At the coastal market, halibuts of all sizes lay on ice, waiting for buyers.

While scuba diving, I watched a halibut rise from the ocean floor and swim vertically toward a ray of sunlight.

The halibuter set out before sunrise to reach the best grounds for catching halibut.

The Atlantic halibut can reach weights of over 200 pounds, making it one of the largest flatfish species harvested in the North Atlantic.

A fisherman reeled in a large bastard halibut at dawn.

The biologists counted several bastard halibuts washed ashore after the storm.

Atlantic halibuts are migrating earlier this year due to rising sea temperatures.
