Yes, poor you!! ROFL!!!!!!!!!
How about making Pickled Fish and Curried Fish with the halibut?? That's how they preserved fish in the old days.
The salmon? Gobble up, eat raw, or cold smoke. I could give my entire kingdom (if I had one) for cold smoked salmon ... I'm addicted to it, and do you know what it costs in a country where all salmon is imported??????
Listen, I do not have recipes for pickled or curried fish at hand. It's delicious. But do try the website http://www.funkymunky.co.za The guy has a lot of traditional S A recipes on his site. I promise you -- it's delicious.

Lucky Dog! Hali-but this fish curry that I love?
This curry won't preserve the halibut, but it does taste delicious the following day. I don't know about smoking the halibut.
Enjoy your seafood heaven!

A couple weeks ago I posted about ...
doing salmon and halibut on the grill with soaked cedar planks. Its not the same as out right smoking the fish first, but, it is a great way to do it. I especially liked the way the halibut turned out cuz I don't care for the fully smoked product. Doing it this way allows you to cover the filets (serving size cuts) with olive oil, then your favorite seasoning. I used ground black pepper, red pepper, coarse salt, and some blackened fish seasoning. It was awesome. Oh yeah, I put a little honey on it, and drizzled it with balsamic vinegar. Let it bake on the grill, indirect heat, and it was a beautiful dark, mahogany color when done.
Enjoy your fish. I believe its going to be a bit cool around here this weekend. By the way, I got the cedar plank at Fred Meyers, but could have probably gotten a better deal at one of the building supplies.

NFRC: Dangerous fish! I remember the last time we fished Alaska. Our guide said
an older man had gone out alone for halibut and caught a large one. Didn't make sure he was dead when he left it out on the open deck. The fish swung its powerful tail, broke the guys leg and he bled to death. I caught one, captain shot it in the head, and about 15 min. later the fish threw itself overboard!

Val, I've always assumed it's cause it has to be shipped from the >>
west coast. Altho, pompano, being a local fish, is super $$ also, so that kills my theory.
Guess it must be supply & demand. I don't even care for the wild salmon, find it too dry. But I LOVE halibut, and can't bring myself to shell out the $18.99 lb it was here last week. Especially since I had lovely snapper from Costco for $7.99!

Especially since I had lovely snapper from Costco for $7.99!The wild salmon season is very short (3 weeks, I think), and this year they are not having a good
harvest. I've pretty much stopped eating salmon, since I don't care to eat farm-raised, and the wild salmon is so expensive.
I was at Whole Foods last week, and they had Copper River Salmon for $26.99/lb!

Yes, she's here, and me too! Can you veer south and give me a lift? Never been to Alaska...
though my Dad has fished there every summer for years, (as well as deep sea fishing throughout the year and trout fishing in summer) and since he can't cook and gives most of it to me, I have been sheltered from the realities of the price of wild salmon. This summer he's on a non-fishing Mediterranean cruise! I'm happy for him, but what am I supposed to do for fish? Pay retail?!!!!
P.S. I'll be gone for a few days to my family's Sierra cabin. I don't fish and my dad won't be there to compensate, but there are stores that sell farmed trout to luckless fishermen, and I'll just skip the sunstroke and shop early. Look forward to catching up with you all next weekend!
