HALIBUT WITH HAM HOCK
Download RecipeThis dish takes a bit of preparation with soaking the ham hock overnight but it’s well worth the effort. Ham hock is a really cheap cut of meat and is so versatile that we couldn’t resist pairing it with the delicious white fleshed halibut. Halibut is an excellent source of selenium, a trace mineral with many health benefits that your body needs in small amounts and provides over 100% of your daily dietary need. Selenium, niacin and omega-3 contents can help reduce the negative effects of chronic inflammation. The isle of Gigha, Scotland, is world renowned as producing the best sustainably farmed halibut, this helps to increase stocks in the wild to prevent overfishing.
