Halibut In Cider Recipes

CRISPY BATTERED HALIBUT WITH NO BEER

Steps:

• Prep your fish by removing the skin (if any) and cutting into pieces sized about as big as a deck of cards prior to mixing your batter.
• Preheat your oil as well. Ideal frying temperature is about 365. If the oil is not hot enough you'll end up with greasy fish. If it's too hot you'll burn the batter before the fish is cooked through. The batter needs to be used immediately after it's mixed. Baking powder is temperamental and doesn't wait for cold oil!
• Combine all the dry ingredients except for the bread crumbs, and stir well to evenly distribute. Stir in the cold water and immediately dip fish in the batter, and then do a quick coat in the bread crumbs and carefully put into the preheated oil.
• Cook until golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

HEARTY HALIBUT CHOWDER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and garlic, and continue cooking until the potatoes have softened slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken stock, tomatoes, and carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the milk and cream, season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the halibut. Continue simmering uncovered until the halibut is flaky and no longer translucent in the center, about 10 minutes. Gently stir in the Cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
