Halibut
My husband started fishing on his kayak in the harbor and he's catching halibut and Calico Bass. I think will be eating fish a lot at least once a week. Do you have any good recipes you would like...

This is an original Alaskan recipe from my Aunt Sal Lesh, who with my uncle Jack and their 8 kids for years ran the Gustavus Inn at Glacier Bay. My cousin Dave runs it now and he still serves this wonderful dish. My aunt was given the recipe by a fisherman from Pelican, Alaska, who was given the recipe by Caddy Ganty herself. This is Gustavus Inn's most-requested recipe.
2 lb. halibut, fresh or defrosted
white wine
Cut the halibut into serving-sized pieces (1" thick, 3"X 3"). Place in a bowl, lightly salting and pouring a little wine over each layer. Cover the bowl and set in a cool place to marinate for 2 hours.
Drain the fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Roll them in
Dry bread crumbs
Place the crumbed fillets in one layer in a lightly buttered baking dish and cover with the following topping:
2 cups sour cream
1 cup real mayonnaise (Do NOT use salad dressing!)
1 cup finely chopped onions
Mix together and spread thickly over the fillets, smoothing it out to the edges to completely cover the fish. Sprinkle the top with paprika. Bake at 350 F. for 20 to 30 minutes or til light brown and bubbly and an instant-read thermometer reads 125 F in the thickest part. Serve immediately with boiled potatoes and a green vegetable.
