Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Where to eat in Seward

Thanks Art, have to believe you're right on this. The fillet varied from thick to thin, so by the time the thick was cooked, the thinner part was undoubtedly over cooked. Good heads up on the 6 month window too, we tend to hoard the fish we bring back, which never works out well anyway.

Don't try to ration your frozen fish. Get it eaten.

Halibut bakes up okay if you a.) shave it all to the same thickness, and b.) slather it with a mix of parmesan, green onion, butter and mayo a minute or two before it's done. Kick the broiler on to put a lightly brown scorch on the cheesy topping. Don't overcook as noted above.

We can put away a lot of halibut fried in batter or panko. Same story: cut pieces to same thickness, and don't overcook.

Crab fishermen friends used to send me fish packs FULL of crab clusters that would be #2 (missing claw or leg, broken she'll, etc) with the warning that if they ever saw their crab in the freezer they would never send another! Get it eaten while it is at its best!

Halibut is very good. Not that much of a fan of the bigger halibut though. They get grainy with some fat marbled in and quality goes downhill.

Most of mine is lightly breaded in panko and breadcrumbs and cooked on a light layer of olive oil. Then eat as is, or put in baja tacos. Halibut enchiladas are very good too. Grilled, it's ok. With Mayo, sour cream, and cheddar, very good.

Deep fried, very good especially if you know how to do it right. Brother Bill has a ranch dressing recipe that was pretty good too.

Very versatile fish, that has it's place in my freezer for sure. It's on the every other week schedule.

We eat more Halibut than ling and yelloweye at the house--but only because my wife prefers hali to the others. Admit we eat more yelloweye than anything else when we are doing our longer trips in PWS--so I do not make it home with as much anyway. I love them all and have a favorite for each of my intended recipes so it all gets eaten--but super important, as correctly mentioned above--eat the yelloweye and ling first. It simply doesn't store as well-as long-as the hali.

On places to try in Seward, I had a great meal and beverage at their new brewery down by the Sealife Center. I didn't even know Seward had a brewpub till last month. We hiked up to Harding Icefield and after a long trail day were starving. I had suggested we hold off hunger till we got to Cooper Landing to hit one of my favorites which is Kingfisher, but another group we had met discussed going to the brewery in Seward. We decided to give it a try and was glad that we did. Was very good--

Went into Chinooks but they had went to fall menu , Halibut or Salmon were choices so we passed, should have tried the Scallops and Mac N Cheese but wife did not want it. So made a bad choice and went to Apollo,s ! Will not be back. The place that looked interesting is right across from the Sea Life center, very good reviews on Yelp!

Having seen a bunch of bogus stuff on Yelp it is a site I would never bother with...

Yes the new brewery is amazing. We got the fish tacos lastvisit which were great. They have a inique menu with tasty items. Try the hangover fries!!!
