@tonyz6421 Жыл бұрын

Many are careful not to cut into or too close to the stomach as to avoid worms which is where most hang out. Never seen anyone eat the stomach and the worms can be throughout the whole fish, you just cook this out. I'd never freeze my halibut when caught fresh unless I absolutely had to. Eat it while it's as fresh as possible.

Nice job; just did not show the entire fillet job; like removing the skin.......most of these halibut fillet videos seem to skip that step --- which is what most Alaskan fishers have trouble with. Is that in another related video?

@borce32 4 ай бұрын

The fish normally gets processed with the skin. They only fillet the fish and either hand it back to the clients in a bag or have them processed in 1 or 2lb packs and have them flash frozen for packaging to ship back home. I’ve spent enough time filleting fish and watching these guys fillet their personal fish. Skinning is the easy part.

Yeah I release any over 60 or so pounds these days. I'm guilty of killing a few 150+ pound halibut in my life so I don't judge but they don't taste as good and this female is a great fish to release. He does a great job utilizing it though which is all anyone can ask for.

I'd say you don't know how to cook them properly. Any halibut cooked right is good. C'mon man. And that's a fish story for sure

@gearzofwar123 11 ай бұрын

⁠@@tonyz6421that’s not a fish story lol, that’s white fish basics. The larger the white fish, the worst the meat tends to be. 30-80 lbs is ideal. The meat is prime in flavor and texture and your yield is just right, chefs prefer a fish within those ranges for a reason. These aren’t like bluefin tuna, where the bigger they are the better they are, that’s a fish that never stops working, it’s constantly moving and constantly feeding. Halibut are bottom dwellers, their meat benefits from them not being massive. The larger the halibut, the more likely you are to run into mealy flesh, and the meat isn’t as succulent. The larger fish are still ok, but they’re nowhere near as sought after in the culinary world as the small to medium size.

It’s to clean off excess worms, it doesn’t remove any flavor. People don’t exactly like blood on the meat, and it doesn’t hurt to spray the meat at all. Halibut is pretty bland, especially at that size

Partially true, however if you're watching closely, he only lightly sprayed it and it needs a brief spray. Good grief.
