Greenland Halibut

Greenland Halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) is a deep-ocean predator that roams the cold, dark waters of the North Atlantic. Unlike its larger cousin, this halibut prefers extreme depths, often found between 200 and 2000 meters near underwater ridges and canyons. While most catches weigh around 15 kg, some giants can tip the scales at over 40 kg. Feeding on herring, cod, squid, and deepwater crustaceans, it’s a prized catch for bottom fishing enthusiasts. Greenland Halibut is one of the most valuable targets for deep-sea fishing in northern waters, especially off the coast of Norway. Its size and elusive, deepwater habits make it a true challenge for any angler.
