POOR MAN'S LOBSTER
is very simple, and tastes like a million bucks! Fresh halibut cut into 3/4 or 1 inch chunks.
1 to 2 quarts water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup salt
Melted butter with whatever seasonings in it that you like
Put the sugar & salt into the water & bring it to a boil.
Drop in the halibut chunks. In 30 to 45 Seconds they'll float.
When they do, TAKE THEM IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE WATER.
Serve ASAP. There should be some of the melted butter
available for each person.
Dip the poached halibut in the butter & enjoy.
A simple salad, some good crusty fresh french bread &
a little cold chardonnay & you have a great dinner in less
than 30 minutes!
* You could probably do this one with any mild white fleshed fish
such as ling /cod.
