With halibut the larger fish don't have the flavor or texture, but smaller ones, especially fresh can be excellent. Halibut is a fantastic meat.
Cooking is crucial, but that applies to most meats..

Laughing here! Have eatem much walleye, perch, and pike, both fresh and (yuk!)frozen. It is not in the same universe with fresh rockfish, lingcod, or any number of other saltwater fish.

Halibut is good fish, but it is just not in a league with truly good fish.


I agree pass me the Ling cod, Rockfish, and Halibut cheeks. Salmon is King to me.



Rockfish tastes dirty to me, and lingcod is too mushy. I like halibut for my white meat when I want white meat which isn't too often. I'm guessing we go though 70lbs a year. I eat so much salmon that I have to patty it up anymore with a bunch of stuff in it.

I really need to bust out the smoker for the halibut. Got a buddy who smokes and jars halibut. Makes the best spread I've ever had.
