Halibut
 
How many of you cut the halibut into steaks instead of filleting them.

That would be one weird looking steak.

That definitely is not a steak from your local halis. If George was steaking a but that wide we would all have crapped our pants. Granted if we could catch 30 lb flatfish often enough to steak em i might be convinced.

Hahaa! We all know that George wouldn't keep us in suspense. :biggrinjester:

A true steak is a cut across the whole fish laterally. This usually includes the spine and even some ribs. I have caught halibut big enough to steak but always fillet them and avoid dealing with the bones. If the hali is big enough you can cut the boneless fillets in to steaks similar to how you see the tuna loins steaked out. Mike

Hey 'New Guy'! Weren't you paying attention? You don't 'fillet' Halibut you 'fletch' them.

To steak or fletch depends on the thickness of the butt for me.

I haven't been every where, but I have cut halibut in AK, CA, and flounder in NC, worked on a charter boat, and in a fish market and I have never heard of "fletching" a halibut. Fletching is attaching feathers to an arrow. I have heard of "flencing" which is cutting the blubber off a whale. Mike

IntrntFshrman 10-26-2011 12:48 PM
Let's just hope he didn't mean 'felching'.....

(sorry, couldn't resist!)

ericko 10-26-2011 12:57 PM

HOW TO FLETCH A HALIBUT
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0" width="450"><tbody><tr> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td>
1. Cut around the perimeter above fins.
</td> <td>
2. Cut on lateral line, clearly visible on both sides of fish. Cut down to spine.
</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td>
3. Starting from the tail, cut meat from bone with small slices from outside to the spine.
</td> <td>
4. Cut nape from the fish
</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="225">
5. Trim fat from fletch.
</td> <td width="225">
6. Knife under fletch to remove skin from tail to the nape. (Press the knife down hard on the skin.)

As long as you're not feltching the fish....

Seems the only mention of "fletching" for Halibut tie back to that site and generally refer to Pacific Halibut.

<TABLE id=wn><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top></TD><TD vAlign=top>2.</TD><TD>filet - cut into filets; "filet the fish"</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
<TABLE id=wn><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>2.</TD><TD>http://img.tfd.com/wn/A9/66AB0-filet.giffilet - a longitudinal slice or boned side of a fish</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
So, the only question would be: is it the side of the fish or not?
