Grilled Halibut

Giada's Lemon-Butter Halibut

The Pacific halibut—one of the largest flatfish on Earth—has an incredible transformation hidden beneath the waves. These massive ‘barn doors’ can grow over 8 feet long, but they aren’t born flat. Young halibut start off swimming like normal fish… until one of their eyes migrates to the other side of their body. This bizarre adaptation helps them blend in perfectly with the ocean floor.
