I love fish, and we usually have some kind of fresh fish at least once a
week, as it's so good for a person, and is so much that you can do with
it.

My favorite way to eat halibut, is coated in a beer batter and deep
fried, but with us being older now, we need to watch our cholesterol
closer, so only have it deep fried on a rare occasion..last evening
being one, and it was heavenly!

Another GREAT baked halibut dish is the following one:

2-1/2 to 3 lbs. halibut, cut in serving size pieces
2 cups white wine
1 cup sour cream
1 c. mayonnaise
1 cup chopped onion
cracker crumbs

Soak halibut in white wine for 2 hours. Pat fish dry and roll halibut
pieces in cracker crumbs and lay flat in greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
Mix sour cream, mayonnaise and onion together and spread over breaded
fish. Sprinkle some extra cracker crumbs over fish and bake at 500º
for 15 minutes (thicker pieces may need a little longer) until golden
brown and flaky. NOTE: Can also sprinkle top with some paprika, which I
often do.
