One of the reasons I love to come to Alaska is the fresh seafood, especially the halibut. Chris puts out a long-line, a long line with about 30 hooks hanging from it, attached to buoys and anchors on each end. We had unsuccessfully set it twice with no luck at all. But the third time was a charm.
Baiting the hooks.
Heading out
into the rocking rolling ocean. The stomach was in a little distress after this trip!
Attaching the hooks unto the line. After the hooks are left dangling in the water for 6 hours or so, you head back out and this time......
Success!
This baby was probably 40 pounds. Good eating size.
Fish cleaner extraordinaire! A slice down the middle of the back.....
slice along the bones to the edge.....
Last but not least, the cheeks. Halibut cheeks are a delicacy.
A little peek of the sun for a lovely ending to the successful hunt. But the best part was the big bowl of ice cream
with Chris, Amy and Stella, the grand dog.
And then the next night I ate my last meal of halibut, as I had a reaction to it and spent a horrible night sleeping with my epi-pen. The end.

Oooh. Uh oh. I'm really sorry about the reaction.
But those cheeks. Yum.
Another storm coming in for we Anchorage-ites this weekend. Argh. How long will you be in Seldovia? Would be soooo wonderful to meet in real life. :)
I feel so sad for you and your allergic reaction. You might want to do a little research on Iodine allergy. I think that's what it is. I've heard (whether true or merely a theory) that many people who exhibit shellfish allergy symptoms are actually allergic to iodine. The shellfish absorb more of it than fish. But occasionally, a person will react to a salt-water fish, too. The person I learned this from is able to eat salt-water fish if she's careful, but I can't remember what "careful," means. If she has to wash it specially, or exactly what. If you think you would like to hear more from someone who knows more about it, I can get her in touch with you, but I'm thinking there will be something online you can find, too.
