Hi All,

If anybody has any experience with this species they can share,I would be very grateful.
Thanks in Advance

Eggaholic, I've eaten it and it is good but don't know that much about it. Try this link though and tell us how it turns out.

Eggaholic,
It is a wonderful fish, though I understand it is becoming endangered so I have been avoiding buying it. If you already have some, it is a lot like halibut. A nice sweet mild white-fleshed fish. Cook it like you cook your halibut, and you are in for a treat!
Enjoy

Nature Boy,
Thanks for the info. A buddy of mine is in the seafood industry and sent me home with the fish one day. He also indicated they were becoming endangered.
Thanks again,
Brian

Stogie,
Thanks for the reply, it looks like a good mix of ingredients.[p]I'm going to thaw it out and Egg it as soon as my wife's appetite comes back, she has the flu.[p]Regards, Brian
