Halibut Cheeks
Does anyone know where I can get Halibut Cheeks in the area?
Toronto to London or the Golden Triangle is fine. Or do you know of a fish monger who could perhaps order them for me? PS Nothing at TJs or Caudles Catch. Thanks Dave Gimbel LCBO Sales/Export Manager Vineland Estates Winery 519-572-1634 |

Actually, Mike, halibut cheeks are a great delicacy here in the Pacific Northwest, and command a good price, and are available at Trader Joe's (TJs) frozen on occassion. I personally don't see the fuss - I like the steaks just as well. My question for Dave is "in the area" of where, exactly? Portland? Seattle? Anchorage? Duluth? Adelaide? |

I first tasted Halibut Cheeks at Pike Place Market in Seattle years ago. They had a memorable texture, somewhat reminiscent of the Chinese custom of presenting the cheeks of a whole fish to the guest of honor at a banquet. Godzilla |

PS Nothing at TJs or > Caudles Catch. I posted many hours ago, but the message has not appeared. Thus I will try again. The message could have appeared on some readers. I do not know of any sources in your area, but there is a source that likely will ship to you directly. If you are in Canada their site likely will tell you if they ship there. See http://www.alaskaharvest.com/ . I have not ordered halibut cheeks from them, but their Alaskan spot shrimp and two kinds of crab were quite good and so was the service. Several other sources turn up in a Google source, but I have not used any of these. |

However, stuck down here in the South Pacific, during the third rainstorm in eight days, my curiosity got the better of me - and I consulted Uncle Google. I had no idea that Halibut grew to such a gigantic size; and being a lover of seafood of all kinds, I regret that it is so far from Alaska to NZ, or else I would definitely put Halibut Cheeks on my "must try" list. OK - I see that it is a delicate white fish - but, what wine would one match with a simply prepared Halibut dish - Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc? Chablis? Riesling? Just curious! To the OP - Google revealed suppliers in Alaska (with glowing references on their websites) who appear to be able to ship Halibut Cheeks and a wide range of other seafood, anywhere in the USA / Canada within a day or two - may be your best bet. -- st.helier |

Halibut Cheeks
Dave's employer is but a stone's throw from me here in Grimsby, Ontario Canada. I suspect he simply misnamed the "Golden Horseshoe" as the Golden Triangle. For the edification of outlanders, the Golden Horseshoe encompasses the megalopolopis arc from Oshawa (or so) on the North shore of Lake Ontario, around the West end of the lake through the Niagara Peninsula to the Niagara River. The Niagara peninsula also happens to be the major home of the Canadian wine industry (with a nod to the Okanagan on the west coast; the North shore of Lake Erie and the newly developing Bay of Quinte area on Lake Ontario).
