Halibut

[willk]

We hosted a thing down here Wednesday night for a group. Reps from different companies from all over the country were in attendance. The Alaskan Seafood Co. sent us a whole halibut and asked for it to be prepared that way...so we did. Cooked over wood and lump. It was stupid good.

Damn Right I bet it was good.

Dang that looks great.

Curious as to how long it took to cook it

What was it's size? I have heard the bigger they get the less taste they have. I have eaten meat from a very large one and found it ordinary.
That looks awesome, I have cooked big spottails and grouper like that.

I had it in Maine last time I was up there. It was fried. I didn't care for it. I mean it tasted okay but seemed oily, which I don't like. Big chunks of white meat vs white and flakey. I would/will try it again but my first impression was only so so.

It took about 45 minutes. The grill was rolling at 350-375 and we had a big sheet pan under it. The meat was fantastic. I was really surprised how well it came out. I have grilled whole b-liners and have poached large salmon but never anything like this.

That looks awesome...

When I was in Vancouver last year the nicer places would serve butter poached halibut cheeks... insane. Probably my favorite fish.

I like to grill flounder. At a certain point during cooking, the top skin will peel off very easily. Then you can baste it with herbed butter and lemon juice and it gets into the meat well.

Cheeks are the tits. Halibut throat is damn sure worth digging out also.
