Halibut-and-Chips-in-a-basket

I came back from my trip to Alaska with 30 pounds of halibut! We had fun catching it, but it might have been even more fun when we got back to my brother’s house and he fried it up for us. My brother coats it in Panko Bread Crumbs, so the fish is extra crispy and delicious.

When we got home from Alaska, I fried up another batch with some chips and served it with my favorite tartar sauce from Market Street Grill. Sometimes I think I go to Market Street for the halibut just so I can eat the tartar sauce. (It’s pretty good as a dip for the fries too!)

Halibut-and-Chips

A big thank you to everyone who wished us a wonderful vacation. An even bigger thank you to my sweet (older) brother and his wonderful wife for their hospitality. It was a great trip and so nice to spend time with family. I wish they weren’t so far away.
