I see. The fillets of "turbot" I had were from Canada, and the two whole fish I have bought must have been from Chile.
The owner of the fishery I go to was nice enough to order a whole case of Rouget for me this summer and I was able to take what I needed. Unfortunately, he ended up having to throw quite a few away. I wonder if they freeze well? That fish is so incredibly delicious.
Canadian "turbot" is, I believe, halibut. Not positive. We generally only get farmed turbot here, and it is, 99% of the time, from Chile. I think it is great. It is a year round fish, but perhaps it is also tougher for them during our summer. Rouget travels badly and spoils quickly. In France it is year round, though I think of it as a summer fish because the things it goes with best are kind of summery. Call one of the distributors in your area and ask if you can buy from them. Stores don't generally carry this stuff. The chance for loss is too high.
