As far as the halibut go, California Halibut is a species of butts. The name does not necessarily mean they live in California. the CA Hali live as far south as in the Sea of Cortez. Im not sure what Mexicos legal size is but if they sell em in large stores here in the states, I would assume legal size in Mexico is much smaller than here. The reason they are being sold here is because people are buying. CA Halibut is also much cheeper than Pacific Halibut. next time you see some Pacific Hali on the shelf look at the price per pound. I think its somewhere around $15.
