Your Arctic char fillets will be delivered fresh and should be refrigerated immediately upon arrival. Fresh Arctic char can be safely refrigerated for up to three days.

Arctic char is ideal for broiling and grilling. It is also exceptional baked. To bake or broil Arctic char fillets, preheat the oven to 400 degrees, drizzle a baking pan with olive oil, place the fish in the pan, and top with butter. Add your favorite seasonings such as dill sprigs, lemon pepper, seasoned salt, or teriyaki sauce. Bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
To grill, season first, then grill Arctic char fillets for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. You may choose to brush a marinade over the fish while cooking to prevent dryness. Arctic char should turn a light pink color, and flake easily when done. If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature in the center of the fillet should reach 145ºF.
