Default Halibut

I love Halibut....when we lived in Alaska , Wayne would go Halibut
Fishing...he went on a "share" boat which meant who ever caught a Halibut
shared it with whoever else was fishing...usually no problem because
everybody caught one...he always came home with a nice catch to freeze...the
boat guys would fillet them so all I had to do is wrap and freeze. I used
diced halibut in casseroles, that called for chicken ...no it didn't taste
like chicken, but it really gave the casseroles a great taste. Our grocer
carried flash frozen wild Alaskan Halibut for the longest time...then for
some reason stopped carrying it...it isn't cheap.

Your sauce sounds yummy.
