Halibut Burgers

Great idea. This would work well with head scraps. I usually bake the heads of halibut, lings, and cabezon and get a surprising amount of meat. Good for soups and patties.

The patties don't turn out too dry with twice-cooked halibut scraps as opposed to the raw minced meat?

Hmm, good point. I actually haven't tried patties. Yeah maybe they would.

Done this with Salmon, and with shrimp. Salmon was the bomb with Asian aromatics like ginger, green onion, garlic... the shrimp patties were only so-so. Looking forward to trying this with some halibut sections and scrapings. Thanks for sharing.

Same!  My technique of not using a binder like mayo and instead pureeing a portion of the fish came from some salmon burger experimentation in the past.
