We see little halibut on the east coast now. It was common, and fairly cheap, 50 years ago when I was a kid. Today, most of what little we get comes from the west coast and Alaska, and transport makes it costly. I usually make it a point to eat it at least once when I am out on the left coast. It is a very good fish.

The chowder picture makes it for me. When I visit relatives there this April, this looks to be the one can't miss restaurant on the itinerary.

I posted on another forum. Sam and I ate there Thursday and Trudy, Sam and I ate there Friday. Crabcakes and halibut delicious, chowder outstanding. Son Sam loves fish and chips and this will be a frequent stop.

I know I'll be adding this place to my dining itinerary for my Northern Cal/Pac NW ballpark trip later this year.

There's only one ball park up there - Safeco Field, you'll have too much time on your hands.

No....actually I plan to see 4 games

San Francisco Giants
Oakland A's
Portland Beavers (triple A)
and of course Seattle

Halibut is my favorite ocean fish.

A friend of mine was fishing in Alaska and caught a 300lb halibut. He sent me about 10lbs of filets. I cooked them several ways. Fried, sauteed and baked. Each way was super.

Unlike Al, the Mayor, I do like some tartar sauce with mine. I vary though and sometimes some hot sauce, sometimes a little salt pepper and lemon.

We had some wonderful Halibut while visiting Lleechef and Zman in Alaska a year ago.
I must admit I like my fried fish "Well-done"...I want the crust to stay crunchy as I eat it, as opposed to getting 'soggy or limp' from the moisture in the fish that is done 'medium or less'. I know this runs contrary to recommended prep for fish, but thats how I like it.
And "No Tartar Sauce, Please", if there is Malt Vinegar available. The fish in the photo looks great!
