Your recipe calls to mind the famous fried halibut on seeded rye sandwich served for lunch at the standup bar in the famous Berghoff German restaurant in downtown Chicago. The bar is long gone, but you can still get a similar sandwich in the lower level grill. The price of halibut has gone astronomical lately, so now they serve a fried cod fillet sandwich. Excellent, but not quite the same as the original. Nevertheless, when in Chicago, it’s worth stopping in to order one.

In reply to Kaleo Zoberst. Thanks Kaleo! I think adding Old Bay is a great idea.

Thanks, Barbara for a simple (but simply perfect) recipe. I always thought Hawai’ian Ono made the best F&C, but fresh-caught halibut is at least as good!

If I might be a tad presumptuous with a suggestion, the second time I made your recipe, I added 4t of Old Bay’s garlic & herb powder to the 2C flour. Still understated elegance, maybe mobettahs?

Aloha,
Kaleo

Thirty pounds huh? WOW! This looks absolutely amazing. I love fish and chips from scratch though it’s usually Neil who cooks it. I need to try it sometime myself – with this tartar sauce!

Wow on the photo of you with the fish!
Panko is the best, isn’t it? Love halibut. I bet this was a marvelous meal…also love the tartar sauce. I copied it right away. I’ve been using an old recipe for years. I like the flavors in this one, not too sweet. My mother always used sweet pickle relish…ugh.

I had the plesure of enjoying some Alaskan halibut on my trip to Anchorage some years ago. But didn’t bring any home 🙁 What an awesome treat Barbara!
