YAKE Posted May 10, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2005 What restaurants can anyone recommend to have halibut cheeks "the best cut of halibut"? Our cruise / tour takes us to Vancouver, Ketchican, Juneau, Skagway, Anchorage Denali and Fairbanks. Thank You Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted May 10, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Can't answer your question, but you should've seen the disappointed look on the face of the gal who was cleaning my fish (last time I went halibut fishing) when I told her I wanted the cheeks! You're correct-best part of the fish. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearbait Posted May 10, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2005 :) Who wants butts when you can have cheeks:) Try Steamers or Annabelles when your in Ketchikan. The Halibut Shack on the dock in Ketchikan may have them but not all the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzoom Posted May 11, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I am hoping to score some halibut cheeks in Alaska! I would love to have some sent home via air express...anyone ever ship home fish while you were up there?? mzoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taters Posted May 11, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I've lived in Alaska for 21 years... I don't really think I've been living under a rock, but I've never seen halibut cheeks on the menu in a restaurant here, in any part of the state. These are usually served only to the lucky few who catch their own fish! Taters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzoom Posted May 11, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Well...it doesn't happen often, but occassionally they are on the menu at the McGrath's Fish House here in Eugene, Oregon. They were on the menu two weeks ago when we ate there. Guess you'll have to come to Oregon for Halibut cheeks...or go fishin' ! ! I have to admit, however, that most of the times that I have had them were when I had friends coming in that had been to Alaska fishing, and had caught them. :) mzoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK*Angel Posted May 11, 2005 #9 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I've lived in Juneau all my life and have never seen halibut cheeks in a restaurant. You can buy them at Superbear right now, or Jerry's Meats/Seafoods, they will also ship to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
