And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I found 25-30 lb halibut to be the best tasting. That big female has too much meat. You can’t sell it to restaurants and residents are sick of halibut and salmon.
I"ll eat it! Love halibut, hard to get in NH, good fresh about 4-6 times a year our local gish market, feller owns it brings one in, we never get tired of good halibut.
Good eating? Oh brother, a halibut steak nothing like one, and the cheek meat is like lobster but better. Thats the "Captain's Share" it so good. Here's the Norwegian way to properly eat a halibut steak: Take your steaks, cut cross the spine, so its like an inch thick, so you have meat both sides of the spine, carefully steam them till just done, have a hard boiled egg chopped up, half stick of butter, melted, salt and pepper the steak, lay the hard boiled crumbled egg over the steak, and pour the melted butter over it all. Finest plate of fish you can eat. Thats a dandy of a halibut right there that guy caught.
I cooked it in an English fish and chip shop / restaurant in about 1980. Very white flesh but I recall it being a dry flesh although I can't recall what it tasted like. They cut them into steaks and deep fried them (like everything else fishey) but the fish we had were not monsters like that.
I recall joining one cutter's patrol, an authorized recreation fishing stop, the contest was anything 100 pounds or less was released; there were at least 20 on deck within the hour, many were nearing 200 pounds. David
The actors on "Port Protection Alaska" who all supposedly live there and survive by subsistence fishing and hunting, some of whom fish commercially, swear by Halibut.
I see it occasionally in the fresh fish section of the grocery store but haven't indulged as it's currently ~$20.00/lb.

ReplyDeleteScots prefer this over Cod for Fish-n-Chips.
