One man handled setting up the charter boat and getting the fish prepared; apparently he had an ulterior motive.

Sorry, there are NOTHING like Grouper cheeks. Halibut is from COLD water and they are a bit tastier, even when prepared improperly.

Ya think? He got one of the best parts of the fish. Why do you think the crews usually grab them....

Meant to say similiar as we prefer Halibut over Grouper anyday(actually should say I as the DW prefers Grouper). But we both prefer a fresh caught(speared) Hogfish to any cold water fish!

We were not involved with this fishing trip. I was getting info for a couple of friends. Thanks, everyone.

I love halbut, grouper and hogfish, but when I take people on my boat, I keep all the triggerfish. Nothing compares to them.

I think the cheeks are over-rated. They aren't bad but they aren't out of this world. Some tend to be stringy. I prefer a halibut filet to the cheek. YMMV.

Forgot about the Triggerfish, guess it was because they are a little harder to clean, but sure good!

We brought our "cheeks and steaks" back last summer and are still enjoying them.
We fished with Alaskan Angler in Ninilchik. They are really good.

Well Nascar, I know that halibut cheeks are supposed to be the best part of the halibut and all my fishing friends make a fuss over them. Frankly I can't see the big deal though. I love all halibut and can't get enough of it.
As the the person in charge thing, the best policy is to set the rules and conditions BEFORE you set sail so everyone knows what to expect.

Just did a Halibut charter out of Valdez and had both the fillets and cheeks. We were disappointed in the cheeks, they were a little stringy.
The meat was to die for!
