Halibut is the largest of the flat fish. It has a compressed oval body with a large mouth. Its upper surface is a uniformly dark chocolate, olive or slate colour, and can be almost black; the underside is pale. Younger, smaller fish (1-3kg) are known as baby or chick halibut and are paler with more mottled colouration. The diet of the Atlantic halibut consists mainly of other fish, cephalopods, large crustaceans and other seabed dwelling organisms.
