I didn’t expect perfection for this price but with a quick honing out of the package with a steel this thing is perfect. Super knife!Sturdy sheath included.

Bloody brilliant knife work. A true master!

I always get the cheek meat off walleye when I filet them, they're just little nugget sized things, but they're so good. I can't imagine having a cheek this size, that's gotta be awesome. Now I need to find somewhere I can buy halibut cheek meat. I have to try this.

Many are careful not to cut into or too close to the stomach as to avoid worms which is where most hang out. Never seen anyone eat the stomach and the worms can be throughout the whole fish, you just cook this out. I'd never freeze my halibut when caught fresh unless I absolutely had to. Eat it while it's as fresh as possible.

Wow what skill

The fish normally gets processed with the skin. They only fillet the fish and either hand it back to the clients in a bag or have them processed in 1 or 2lb packs and have them flash frozen for packaging to ship back home. I’ve spent enough time filleting fish and watching these guys fillet their personal fish. Skinning is the easy part.

wow...wrecking machine....samuri....

That looks smaller than the 180 pounder I pulled in last year. Going again this year and hoping for something smaller and hopefully more tender.

⁠@@tonyz6421that’s not a fish story lol, that’s white fish basics. The larger the white fish, the worst the meat tends to be. 30-80 lbs is ideal. The meat is prime in flavor and texture and your yield is just right, chefs prefer a fish within those ranges for a reason. These aren’t like bluefin tuna, where the bigger they are the better they are, that’s a fish that never stops working, it’s constantly moving and constantly feeding. Halibut are bottom dwellers, their meat benefits from them not being massive. The larger the halibut, the more likely you are to run into mealy flesh, and the meat isn’t as succulent. The larger fish are still ok, but they’re nowhere near as sought after in the culinary world as the small to medium size.
