Just got back from fishing trip Kenai peninsula with Rod & Reel Charters. This was a father & sons trip and we limited out on halibut.

So in short I need some recipes to prepare the filets. Some of the filets have the skin on, some don't. Any marinades, seasonings you would recommend?

Thanks for all your help.

1 stick of butter softened, 1 heaping tablespoon of fresh dill, 3 cloves of garlic diced. Combine, put the butter on parchment paper and freeze then cut into slabs. Grill skin side down on foil with some alder for smoke.

Fish tacos are never a bad choice.

Garlic, paprika, turmeric, lime juice, siracha, salt and pepper.

Cook the bell peppers and onion separately to keep the fish from getting watery.

Recipes are pretty much limited by your imagination. Worth substituting for any dish you'd use chicken in. Stir fry, kababs, etc.

Sage advise. Come to think of it I don't think I'd recommend sage. Dill for sure.

Halibut doesn't need a bunch of sauce, marinades or smoke flavoring to mask a strong taste; it is nice, sweet, white meat. Try baking with subtle flavoring, like butter, salt, black pepper, a little garlic, grated Parmesan.

Deep fry it! WTF!

If you don,t like fish don't eat it, but why the hell would you want to make it taste like a tacho bell?

There was a place in Auke Bay AK (just north of Juneau) that made wonderful Red Curry Halibut. Of course, one must enjoy red curry in order to enjoy halibut served that way.

One of my favorites,

Lightly oil a glass baking dish
Place halibut fillet/s
slather on some mayo, not too much
sprinkle with paprika
cook at 325 or so until it starts to "flake"
Do Not Overcook!!!!!

Enjoy your fish, I'm jealous.

PS, did you bring home the cheeks or eat them on the boat?

i Was thinking exactly the same. Matter of fact I can't recall the urge to eat anything at taco bell in 30 years....

I'll take halibut tacos ANY day. Will take rare tuna tacos also any day.

straight from Coffman Cove:

skin off

depending on size of filets slice into thick 1 1/2-2" strips

roll in flour with a little salt and some pepper, egg dip, panko crumbs

fry quickly in peanut oil


also baked with herb butter is great

(I'm also not big on overly spiced up fish tacos. Chili powder and good fish is not a good combo for me. Maybe on some Florida tilapia I can see it)

Damn brain dead this morning... to a towns name. Got on the ferry headed south to Ketchikan years ago.

Was a little bar somewhere, we were totally on foot having dropped the rental car off, found this bar, I know it might not be right to many, but the beer battered halibut and amber on tap was just really great too!

We had some once, lots of dill and butter, in foil, over coals from fresh spruce limbs 100 miles out of Aniak in the bush somewhere... landing strip called cinnabar IIRC.

That was some awful good halibut too! Made for some good memories sitting by that fire. Was glad the pilots came in that evening. Fresh halibut was grand.

Here's a recommendation I may have to follow someday!

PS, spelling nazi tells me it's spelled "ceviche" laugh

PPS, tastes great whichever way you spell it though!

Throw the skin-on fillet on the grill skin side down. Put a couple pats of butter on the sunny side. Sprinkle salt/pepper or whatever you like (Montreal steak seasoning works too).

When you can slide a spatula between skin and meat, do so, and eat the meat part. Works best if the fillet is room temp to start with.

Is it true that they taste better if you catch 'em on a fly rod?

Just made salmon tacos last night and they were a major hit...halibut works just as well...

Grilled like CWH2 called is very good, but cook the flesh side first as it stays together better that way.

All fish taste better caught on a fly...

Catch them in five feet of water and you only need six ounces...
