| Hmmm... I do consider it rich. However, we tend to cook it with a lot of butter and sauces, so perhaps that has something to do with it.  We're from Oregon and have done lots of fishing up the coast and in Alaska... where I first decided, upon eating a beautiful halibut dish, that this "fish stuff" everyone talks about isn't so bad. It is lean, you're right about that. I don't eat a lot of fish so have little to compare it to. But I do know that, yes I have the right fish when I say "I like halibut".
After making my inquiry here, I read a few more threads on the EF and someone wrote that heilbutt here is similar to, but not the same as the Pacific Halibut to which I have become accustomed. | |

My opinion is that cooking kills off the special and unique taste of Halibut and makes it taste much like any average canteen fish. It's best smoked and then eaten on a piece of toast.
