Report and Photos: 2018 Oyster Point Halibut Fish and Learn

Hella dry

I think it's a sear than a medium low technique to fully cook it and retain all its juicy tender flavorful satisfying sought after goodness.  Takes about 4 minutes at the right filet thickness, overcook it 30 seconds and it may endup dogfood or excellent for the kids.

What is halibut?

It is the fishing equivalent of a unicorn.

Surprising that people think its dry!!! I've never had it dry. Its my second favorite fish behind cod. Hali is so flakey!

Yup. They usually migrate to oyster and candlestick area before making their loop to ARW. April- MAY is a good time. I think last year mid May they we're hitting hard at ARW. I like hitting oyster early cause there are some whompers around that time.

Nobody thinks its dry.
Especially Rock Hopper.
C'mon guys.

What poll? Figured you were serious (and it was winter  ) cause often ends up "hella dry" when I cook it. Last time resorted to freezing for a month or so then making civiche.....wasn't dry then  .

I'm down to give this Oyster Point place a try, look forward to learning a new spot and some new tips.

Gotta set this up Keith, you the man!

Sounds great count me in.

Sounds like fun. I will try to make it. They were there in early May last year.

can you show me how to code and fish for halibut at the same time
