First halibut of the many delayed season, early morning tide was easy. 150 ft , anchored and used herring and octopus juice scent. Kapow 🤷♂️
Looks like some fine dining right there but I got to ask when is your mojo not working?
Looks like a year supply from one day of fishing. We used to have 3 months, now we are down to 4 days in May and almost guaranteed nasty weather on those days. Glad you still have what can be called a "halibut season"
Kapow! Indeed.
Dat is a lot of Butt Meat. ;)
Nice!
Way to start the season with a bang!
Highly skilled filliter, I have never eaten it, but looks like very nice meat.
Yaba daba!
Beautiful filet's! What are you going to do next? Smoke them?

good catch, look like nice white flesh, have you soaked it in a salt water solution, do them fish have any dark meat in them, thanks for posting, cheers Don.
Thanks for the great questions, These filets as shown have the skin on the bottom. I always remove it with a long knife and trim a little as there is some fat ot cartilage/ gristle. Maybe 2% if you're good.
Then I portions it and vac package or use food grade film wrap and then freeze.
Very lean, no fat. Freezing is good for a year.
Tonight we poached a piece in water and a chicken broth cube. Add fish w some sugar and salt. Cook till medium done ( quick). Then remove and broil for a couple minutes. Then dredge pace I. Garlic butter wit a salad. Healthy and earthy. Yum. Great for leftovers snacks. Cream cheese and crackers.😇
