@bgebrent posted his epic grilled halibut and pistachio pesto a couple of days ago, I gave this a whirl. I smoked over apple at 135C for about 50 mins until IT was 62C, served with some wild garlic leaf pesto we had left over from making it a while ago. The smoked halibut/pesto combo was outstanding. Going to be doing this again.

Four halibut fillets ready to rock:

    Cheers. @bgebrent dunno about where you live but wild garlic here is only in season for about 4 weeks in April/May time. SWMBO made a bunch of pesto sauce and froze it in little containers so we could have it for a while.

    Also noticed that I'd broken the ton with this thread ... actually the previous one, but this one is close enough. Let the good times rock and indeed roll. :D

    What's unfortunately sad is so many of our BBQ brothers never delve into seafood or for that matter, fish.  They miss out on so much.  It's why I post mostly seafood or aquatic fare.  Some will get it.  I know its not for everyone, you sir get it.

    Thanks again bud. Fish is something I'm going to be looking into more now, a supermarket near us has 20% off all fish on a Friday. :D
