The incredible flavor and texture of Pacific Yelloweye is tops for me.

Had a fillet of halibut and yelloweye on my plate last night and both the wife and I agreed yelloweye by a country mile.
 
I'm also a fan of white spring. I keep it simple by coating with oyster sauce and grilling it. I find it moist and delicious.

I don't like smoking them though. I find they take too long to dry out to the consistency I prefer. Perhaps due to the extra oiliness?
 
I'll have to give it another try, In the back of my mind I keep thinking salmon should be red.
It's oilier I think, how do your prepare it ?

It is indeed very oily, full of healthy omega 3 oils. I usually BBQ it slowly (to not burn it) with a nice marinade of sundried tomatoes, capers, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, parsley and a splash of white wine. Everytime I serve it people go nuts over it.
 
there can be big differences in halibut fillets can be tough sometimes; if frying halibut its best to cut into steaks like you would for salmon; far better than frying fillets
 
Kokanee (landlocked sockeye) from a cool water lake, followed closely by halibut cheeks fot taste and texture.

Fish should not be subjected to marinades or other embilishments beyond being cooked in a bit of butter with a dash of salt and pepper if desired.

Anything would taste good in that marinade...even a shoe :)
