I am truly embarassed. I have eaten halibut in restaurants and other places and have like it well enough. But really, I had no benchmark to compare it against until today (more on that in a minute). Yesterday, during the wild trip out to the pile for my first ever halibut excursion, I was thinking to myself, "this is a lot of time, work, effort, etc. for one fish."
