Halibut calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of halibut contains 111 calories, with 22.5 g of protein, 0 g of carbohydrate and 1.6 g of fat. Most of its calories come from protein.
Halibut is firm, meaty white fish and remarkably lean — about 94 calories per cooked 3 oz for 22 g of protein. That leanness is also its trap: it goes from perfect to dry in under a minute, so it suits a fast sear or a gentle bake rather than a long cook. It is expensive; cod does a similar job for less.
