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 to share because I rarely cook fish unless it's trout on a camping trip, LOL.
  • HEAVENLY HALIBUT

    1 Fresh Halibut, cut in 1” cubes
    To your favorite Tempura batter, add beer instead of water and dip each cube to coat completely. Fry until done.

    Tastes like candy!
  • I take a 1" Halibut filet and brush it with Olive Oil, both sides, then take thinly sliced potatoes and line both side of the fish ans salt & pepper and lightly saute each side. Very yummy.
  • Or mock lobster. Halibut chunks poached in water with sugar and salt added, then dipped in butter.

    Don't forget the cheek meat...best part of the halibut.

    I love grilled halibut. Usually salt and pepper and grill for about 4 minutes a side. Wife makes a great lemon vinaigrette to go with it.


    X2 - and perhaps a little lemon butter ;o)

    Halibut is a firm white fish that can be cooked in lots of ways: simmered, fried, sauteed, roasted.

    A personal favourite that requires only pantry type ingredients on this end:

    HTH and may your freezer have lots of space!
