Alaskan Halibut Season is in full Swing


Mouth watering, buttery, luscious, seriously sexy, white, melts in your mouth, hot or cold, grilled, baked, or on the pan. Fresh Alaskan Halibut. There's a reason why it's everyone's favorite fish. It's big, beautiful, no bones, delightful to cook, and makes most seafood lovers stomachs' growl, our mouths go dry and watery, our eyes roll back and our brains get headachy when we know we will get to chew and swallow it. It pairs perfectly with everything.. A cold Corona, a glass of cabernet, chardonnay, pinot, merlot or a tall icy Coke. It can be smothered in a gourmet cream sauce, salsa or enjoyed with a lemon wedge and fresh herbs. It is not cheap. Most of the time it is more expensive than live lobsters and fillet mignon.. but us Alaskan Halibut lovers don't care. We splurge because to live without it would make life sad, lonely, depressing and gastronomically boring. No boring allowed!

See recipes I've installed below in my blogging past. My favorite standby is the Almond Crusted AK Halibut with sundried tomato cream sauce.

Happy Mother's Day!
