FLYERGIRL'S HALIBUT

this one is easy...not a lot of ingredients needed...always a hit..

crush a few packages of saltines...very very fine(I use a Cuisnart to get them to sand like status).

Place in a bowl.


In another bowl...Soak small(I mean 1 or 2 inch squares) chucks of halibut in milk while crushing saltines.


heat oil in large pan (EVO does not do well at high heats, use Canola oil or some such).

Take small chucks of halibut from milk and put into crumbs..Flatted slightly like you are making nuggets. Fish chucks should be about 1/4 inch high.

Fry on med high to high heat quickly...Only takes a few mins to do each side.

Drain well.

Only fry a few pieces at a time so the oil does not cool off. You can keep the cooked pieces in a warm over while cooking the rest.

I have made this recipe for 35 years, not shared it often but it's yummy...
I have fancy recipes but this is simple and good...


Fish is already salted with the crackers, does not get greasy.
If you do this correctly the small chunks are bite sized and delicious.

I serve it with my mom's German cole slaw recipe and perhaps some fresh broccoli or corn.

An easy quick tartar sauce is mayo, tiny bit of ketchup, minced onion and minced dill pickle.

Can't wait to get fishing again....

Good grief; I'm dying here! I just ate lunch and my stomach is demanding I give it halibut NOW! We had it this past Saturday night, always my fav. My wife (a chef) whipped some up with a white sauce; I'll see if she can remember the recipe. She usually makes this stuff up on the fly but whatever she does it's always thru the roof.

My favorite way to cook halibut is beer battered

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 eggs
2 beer

Cut halibut into strips/chunks about 1/2" thick
In a bowl combine eggs and flour, mix
Pour in one beer and continue to mix.
Start adding in second beer a little at a time until the mix is like pancake batter. You don't want the batter too thick or it will be doughy. When it's nice and thin it tasets like tempura, lght and crispy.
In a cast iron frying pan in 1 to 1 1/2 inches oil and heat to 400-425 degrees (test by dropping a drop of water in oil, when it pps and spits it's ready) pop in your battered halibut, when bottom side of halibut is brown flip the pieces over and finish cooking. It should take 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and server with fries.

bacon wrapped grilled halibut..

bacon wrapped grilled halibut..

Saw today on Larry Csonka's "North to Alaska" show where Smoky Joe made some bacon wrapped grilled halibut. He took finger size pieces of habibut and wrapped each one with a slice of bacon and pegged with two toothpicks. He soaked the toothpicks for 15 minutes in water so they would not burn. He marinated the fish in a mixture of worshershire sauce and water (2:1 ratio) and added some garlic powder, pepper, and all spice. Soaked the fish for about 30 minutes in the fridge he said. Looked good. Anyone tried bacon wrapped halibut?

Thai Green Curry & Halibut

Thai Green Curry & Halibut

I just made this now. Im actually waiting to add the halibut for when my friend arrives.

Ingredients (all approx)

Peanut oil (if you have some - If not, normal vegetable oil)
Green Curry paste 3 tbl spns (Use Mae Plow brand. IT rocks!)
Fish Sauce 1 tbl spn (Squid brand is good)
2 cans coconut milk
2-4 table spoons sugar
Kaffir leaves (if you can find some)
1 Egg plant (the small purple thin kind. Normal kind would do)
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
snow peas (about 1 hand full)
1 can baby corn
1 small can water chestnuts
about 20 leaves of FRESH basil
Halibut. As much as you want

1) Cut all of your vegetables into 1 inch pieces
2) Put a bit of peanut oil (or vegetable) at the bottom of a frying pan. Fry your egg plant until golden. Remove and set aside.
3) In same pan, fry up your curry paste for 1-2 minutes.
4) Add 1/2 a can of coconut milk and fish sauce to your curry paste. Cook for another 2 minutes.
5) Transfer coco/curry to a bigger pot. Add one more can of coconut milk and cook for about 10 minutes. ( you should have 1/2 can of coco milk left)
6) Add all of your vegetables except the basil leaves. Cook at medium/high for about 6 minutes.

At this point, taste the curry to see if its to your liking. YOu have 1/2 can of coconut milk left to play with. You may need to add curry paste or fish sauce or sugar. Taste taste and taste.

7)Before guests/family/yourself are about to eat, add halibut, cook for 3 minutes and then add basil leaves about 30 seconds before serving. But do not leave leaves on top. Mix into sauce.

As Im writing this, my pot is cooling down because my friend is only getting here in about 2 hours. When she does get here, I will heat up my curry with vegetables and cook up the halibut. I cook the halibut last because I want it moist and juicy! Man am I hungry now.

Its spicy. So...

Hope you enjoy!

fruit salsa as a topping...

fruit salsa as a topping...

Has anyone ever had halibut with a fruit/salsa topping? I have had mango salso on swordfish recently and it was amazing. Some of the best tasting fish I have ever had. Also had crusted macadamia nut swordfish. Any other fruit salsa like the forementioned mango salsa around? Any ideas. I wonder how blueberries or raspberries would be in a salsa on top of halibut. Maybe with some orange zest and ginger. Any fruit salsa ideas for halibut?

 

[Xanfly]

I like my Halibut Taco's with a Pineapple Salsa. Deep fry the Halibut in Panko, Parmesian Cheese and Cajun Seasoning. For the salsa mix Pineapple, diced green and red bell pepper, diced jalepeno, tomato and cilantro. Can't beat em.

 

[Xanfly]

oh and Green onions

Halibut a la Stewart

Halibut a la Stewart

Heres one from somebody I used to commercial fish with years ago,quite the wildman back in the daze,but one HECK of a boat cook.Sorta like snazzed up Halibut Olympia.

Fillets from 20-40lber
2parts mayo
1part sour cream(plain yogurt as substitute)
Cracker crumbs
parm cheese not the cheepo kraft stuff(theres a difference!)
beer
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degs
Crack the beer,and enjoy 1/3 of the container.Mix up yer mayo n sour cream,I like to add finely chopped onions,garlic and crushed pepper,set aside.Crush up some crackers,if your a slick boat cook,you keep the saltines in the wrapper keeps the galley mess down!
Spread on the bottom,say 1/2 a wrapper worth,save the rest.
Glop in perhaps 1/3 your mayo/cream mix,spread out,lay in your fillets.
Then spread the rest of the goo on top,spread out again doing your best to cover all the fish.Time for some more beer,and the rest of the crackers,only the crackers go on the mayo/cream covered fish.
Plop in the oven uncovered for perhaps 35 mins,if you prefer to cover than longer times will be needed.For the last 5 mins,pull dish from the oven,sprinkle heavily with parm cheese,back in the oven.
I like my cooked fish medium rare,so Im checking the first time @ 30 mins,then 35.As a footnote,if Im cooking buttski with no covering sauce,I reach my perfectly cooked point(just this side of medium rare) with 350 degs oven @ exactly 25 mins.The color of the fish goes ever so slightly from green/clear to ever so slight whitish opaque.
Get beyond this fine line and you get to exeptionally dead white meat with halibut flavor,which is what you get from most restaraunts,and most home cooks.
Get it right,and youll never go back

Blackend Halibut

Blackend Halibut

Here's a great spicy recipe...

Cut up some halibut fillets about 1 inch thick, make sure skin is removed!
Prepare the blackening seasoning mix by mixing the following:
1 Tbs. paprika.
2 1/2 Tsp. Salt.
1 Tsp. Onion powder.
1 Tsp. Garlic powder.
1 Tsp. Cayenne pepper.
3/4 Tsp. White pepper.
3/4 Tsp. Black pepper.
1/2 Tsp. Dried thyme leaves.
1/2 Tsp. Dried oregano leaves.

Heat a cast iron skillet on your grill. Do not do this indoors! If you do, you will have smoke throughout your house!!! The skillet should be so hot that if you put a drop of water on it it will sizzle and evaporate quickly. Heat up about 3 or 4 tablespoons of butter in your microwave or separate pot. Coat both sides of the halibut with butter. Coat one side of the halibut with the seasoning mix and place on hot skillet, season side down. Now brush the top of the fillet with butter again and coat with seasoning. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes and turn over. Cook until flakey, about 4 or 5 more minutes. Enjoy on a bed of rice with a cold beverage...

Fried Halibut with potao batter

Fried Halibut with potao batter

Last night I made some fried halibut I wasn’t sure what I wanted to batter them with, then I found some boiled potatoes in the fridge from a few days ago and thought why not! So glad I tried it! Peeled the 4 taters and put in the food processor with 2 eggs, spices, grated parmesan cheese, and some milk till I got the right consistency for batter. Floured the halibut chunks and dipped in the batter and deep-fried. Turned out great a lot like beer batter.
I’d say another successful outcome from using the “waste not, use what ya got”
Enjoy if you try it!

I'm back from TWO ocean charters with a freezer OVERFLOWING with some dang 'expensive fish!'

I had some really tasty blackened halibut in a spinach salad before I departed Alaska, and since I love blackened seafood (redfish, salmon, shrimp, whatever) I figured that would be 'one recipe' in the bag, for me!

I spent quite a while yesterday hunting for a blackened seasoning blend -- including the all encompassing 'Whole Foods'... bought a few near misses... then come home to find this recipe RIGHT HERE!

I think I'll mix up a quart of the seasoning! Lemme see, three tsp in a Tsb..........................

Thanks, biglou!

Also -- to 'throw one in' from me...

Having limited resources while RV'ing, and forgetting to buy some bread crumbs, I bought some 'Blue Corn' chips (just to make it interesting).
And, similar to the 'potato chip' crumbs referred to in this thread, I had halibut dredged in crunchy blue corn chips... I was proud!

Any other ricipes? I've got 'LOTS more' to eat!
(And I even gave some away)...

Thanks!
Doc
