Takes me back to my days as a chef, Just a tip, before dipping in the egg dip the fish in seasoned flour, it helps the egg stick and saves having to season before and during cooking
Thank you, you saved my $30 halibut, I didn't know how to make it like in the restaurant and I needed to make it today so it wouldn't expire. You very easy tobfollow, simple and everyone loved it!
You're very welcome Dawn. This is still one of our favourite ways when it comes to cooking halibut, lingcod, or any other white flesh fish like walleye, pike, etc. It's very forgiving, never gets overcooked. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Man! I know I’m late on this video, since you posted it five years ago! But I just tried this recipe....AMAZING! So simple, yet so delicious! Thank youuuu
Needed to make a quick dinner for myself tonight, came across this recipe and it was sooo good. Added some red pepper 🌶 flakes and it was delicious 😋. Thank you Rod!
Hey Rod.....Just made this from previously frozen halibut.......I cut it a little thicker and cooked slightly longer, absolutely would do it this way again and again! Loved it!!! Thanks
Good choices. :) haddock and cod are excellent because the flesh is flakier. What I didn't mention in the video is that I actually prefer this recipe with lingcod, which is super delicious...
Thinly sliced halibut dipped in an egg wash then into a bread crumb mixture then cooked over medium heat; and flipping the halibut over until it’s done seems better than frying a chunk of halibut until it’s seared then placing it in the oven.
I was a San DIegan before I got exiled to Wisconsin (where halibut is over 30 bucks a pound when you can find it). In San Diego, we'd fish for bass in the Bay until the tide came in. Then we'd take my 14' Valco aluminum boat and time the swells so we could make a quick dash over the jetty and wind up off Zuniga Point on the seaside shore of North Island. There, we'd use either anchovies or fluorescent orange jigs to catch halibut. (These were California halibut, not the Pacific halibut you guys catch, which grow a lot bigger than California halibut). I think the size limit was over 28"--but don't quote me on that, it's been awhile--and we'd usually catch a few each trip. We'd time our swell once again to jump the jetty, head home and try to outdo each other as regards creative ways to cook them. I got pretty good at grilling them on a Weber grill. Like so many other things about the early 70s, we didn't know that those were the good old days. I barely recognize San Diego now, but I think fondly about it when it's 30 below or when halibut is available for a king's ransom. Enjoy your ocean bounty, and thanks for the recipe.
We're definitely very spoiled on the West Coast and gotta remember not to take this for granted. Thanks for watching and I hope the videos bring some joy when it's 30 below!
Good Stuff! I was out fishing close to Nov.11 ( not catching) but two fishermen in another boat caught 2 Halibut .They were anchored up and targeting Halibut.They can be a lot of fun and a great suprise on the salmon trolling gear too ! Darryl in rainy Sooke!
Awesome! The few times when we fished outside of Sooke/Pedder Bay, we have always done well for halibut. It's such a lovely area to drive around and visit too.
This is great, Try it with a little Season salt, or try Tony Chachere's Famous Creole Seasoning for a little kick (my favorite) If you try the creole seasoning, start with a little.
I find it very interesting that the halibut was thinly sliced; that’s not a bad idea! I’m going to try, and do it the same way that the man in the video has done!
Cooking with Rod..! Looks great, I just need to figure out where to find some halibut. I'm going to Savory Island end of July, know any spots around there to drop a line for some hali's?
One of my favorite ways to cook fish. I do use thicker pieces and fry in olive oil/ butter. My question is about vacuum packing. Do you freeze the halibut with the skin on? Thanks
Thanks B Fisher! Actually I just had this conversation about freezing halibut with or without skin the other day. My personal preference is to freeze with the skin on, because depending on which recipe sometimes I cook my halibut fillet with the skin. Many people prefer not to freeze with the skin as they beleive that's what gives the fish the fishy smell.
Rod! I love your videos! All of these recipes look amazing and I really look forward to trying them. The question I have is if there was any way to post some trout recipes? I'm in the Midwest here in the States and the rivers here in my state only have rainbows and stocked browns. That would be awesome if you could! Keep up the amazing work! I was "hooked" from the first video I watched!
Eric, thanks for the comment! I'm glad to hear that you love the videos. :) We've talked about cooking up a trout in the video for awhile now and I think this year we just have to do it, so stay tuned... :)
Tip for anyone that cooks fish in this manner. Use only the white of the egg for the wash. The reason is the yolk contains fat, so when you fry the fish, the fat in the yolk absorbs the cooking fat leaving the fish greasy. Using only the white there isn't any fat for the yolk to adsorb so the fish is drier and much healthier.
I watch food videos all the time and I will tell you are pretty good at it and I think you could get more views if you cooked after you make a fishing video
+Tyler Seydel Thanks. I'm a chef wanna-be. ;) That's the plan in the future actually. I'm hoping to have some videos where fish are caught, followed by some cooking.
What's the difference in cooking both sides shallow fry and deep fry? Clearly they get the same amount of oil at the same temperature.Interested go know why the flavour changes.
+Hookemups I'm sure the flavour is probably the same. I guess my point is that since I'm only frying a few pieces in such a short time, shallow frying makes more sense as you use a fraction of the amount of oil which you'd have to use for deep frying. I also still think the fish would absorb more oil if it is deep fried. That coat of breadcrumb really sucks up quite a bit of oil.
+licho cruz Vancouver Island is your best bet. Most people head to Ucluelet and Tofino, but that's a weekend trip. For overnight trips or even day trips, you can try Victoria/Pedder Bay/Sooke area, where the fishing is surprisingly good. In our other video "Girls vs Halibut", we went out with Gord Gavin from Sea Ghost Fishing Charters based in Pedder Bay. He's a good guy to go out with, price is also very reasonable compared to some of the larger charter companies.
hey rod could you help me I have been fishing for 3 years and I have never caught a fish if You could give me some tips that would be great I live in the Vancouver area.
+bigboybox123 Have you taken a look at our website, which has lots of articles on how to fish, where to fish, plus fishing reports on where to go right now? That'd be your best option beside these videos. :)
grood video....My wife "Filipina" is a sea food eating machine. Please advise on the cooking oil you use, i want to be as healthful as i can in preparing the fish and shrimp. thanks.
Fishing with Rod . Bought a pound, and a half of halibut steak in Captain Frank’s sea food market today in Boynton Beach,Florida; I cooked about a pound of it the same way as you did. I used grape seed oil; and it was shallow fried. The results were satisfactory; and tomorrow I will cook the rest of the halibut in peanut oil; and I’ll use slightly more oil.
1) Thin slices produce dry over cooked fish. Just the opposite of what you say. 2) Season fish BEFORE you cover it with panko. 3) Use fresh (soft) panko. 4) Crank that heat up! (Saying _"very hot"_ isn't a good plan). Thermometers are CHEAP, and your end product looks VERY greasy because of it! Oil should be 350 for fish. If I sound like a 'know-it-all'? It's because I've been a restaurant chef for over 30 years, and specialize in seafood.
+Fishing with Rod Yeah, I'm just joking around, just watched her lychee fried rice video. I subbed to both your channels when I watched your video with the spot prawns. Just curious if you can do some videos and offer tips and locations on fishing from shore around Vancouver? I bought my tidal license for the first time ever after watching a couple of your videos, and heard there are some places you can crab from shore around here, but haven't looked into the whole process yet beyond getting the license. My interest got a bit piqued last year when I by chance videod a guy almost land a 5 or 6 foot Sturgeon from the river by downtown New West. (short video on my TH-cam if you're interested). Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Yeah I agree. Since we released this video several years ago, my preference for this recipe is in fact lingcod. For halibut, I much prefer to season the steaks, and pan fry each side for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness, let them rest for a few more minutes once off the pan. They are absolutely delicious that way.
Cost of boat. Fuel, insurance, slip rental. Fishing licences, gear, licence fee, maintence, could go on and on. Don't try to catch chickens to try to save money. Any fish for that matter. I have fished both fresh and salt water almost every part of bc. Have yet to consider it a cost savings measure.
I think I was more referring to charter trips. Boat ownership is definitely not a cost saving measure lol... It's a luxury and the asset loses value fast as soon as that purchase is made. :) I also value it by taking how fresh the fish you are getting into account, as opposed to store bought fish which you never know where they have been or how they have been handled.
@@FishingwithRod You not kidding. When I was a kid in New Brunswick my father would come home with a gunny sack full of 1 ½ - 2 lbs lobsters. They were $1.00 a dozen, not a lbs a dozen!

Glad to see you actually eating the Halibut. A lot of youtube videos won't show that.
Looks fantastic by the way.

This was awesome. My family loved it!!!
Good to hear! Thanks for watching!
I LIKE your style!! I love fried halibut!!!
Thanks, Rod. Been working through 150 lbs of fillets from last summer’s Alaska trip. Need to try this receipt tonight. It looks great!
Great! Let me know how it goes!
Hey Rod.....Just made this from previously frozen halibut.......I cut it a little thicker and cooked slightly longer, absolutely would do it this way again and again! Loved it!!!
Thanks
Great! Very happy to hear that. :)
Great recipe, we use it with haddock and cod as well, and cook up white rice and an assortment of peppers. Thanks for sharing.
Good choices. :) haddock and cod are excellent because the flesh is flakier. What I didn't mention in the video is that I actually prefer this recipe with lingcod, which is super delicious...
caught a nice hali yesterday and cooking it just like this today thanks Rod
You're welcome!
Great easy recipe. Loved it thank you
You're welcome! Enjoy. :)
Thanks for the recipe
Most welcome 😊
Recently caught Halibut in BC! Can’t wait to try your recipe!
Thinly sliced halibut dipped in an egg wash then into a bread crumb mixture then cooked over medium heat; and flipping the halibut over until it’s done seems better than frying a chunk of halibut until it’s seared then placing it in the oven.
In a flour tortilla, little mayo and lettuce!! BINGO!
Funny you commented that Mark because I actually made exactly that tonight!
Looks good. For me, nothing beats pancake batter and deep fried.
Thank you looks delicious
Thanks for watching!
@ $19 lb here on the east coast, I'll try a Gordon Ramsey recipe, however, I will try your techniques on other fish, Thank you for sharing
Awesome Thankyou!
You're welcome!
Great video Rod! If I ever get some halibut I will definitely have to try this recipe
+James Powell Thanks! Glad you liked it. :)
Just caught a 120 pound halibut in Alaska can’t wait to eat it

I'm going to Savory Island end of July, know any spots around there to drop a line for some hali's?
+Glen Stoner No idea how good the halibut fishing is up that way actually. I think you should be north enough in the Strait to find them... :)
Trying this tonight!
Awesome! How was it?
Amazing bruh! Thank you 🙏 I made some garlic butter dipping sauce for it 👌👌👌
Wish I'd have seen this earlier today! Looks good!

Great! Let me know how it goes. :)

+Basic_Fishing Thanks. There'll be a couple of halibut fishing videos coming up later this year. :)
haha sweet lol
Who the heck gave it a thumbs down???? Good video!
Someone who prefers a filet-o-fish lol. ;) Thanks for watching!
Now I wanna go fishing
Do it! :D
Delicious!
When seasoning with salt and pepper, can I use iodized salt or should be rock salt?
I personally prefer to use rock salt that gets grind up. I find that I often oversalt if I use iodized salt.
hey rod just a tottaly random question what float fishing for salmon lets say coho and chinook what size hook do you use?
Personally I use size 1 or 2.
Thank you.
Great recipe and thanks for sharing... I added a couple spices to panko (MSG, Salt, Pepper and dash of "Slap yo Mama")
Tip for anyone that cooks fish in this manner. Use only the white of the egg for the wash.

Using only the white there isn't any fat for the yolk to adsorb so the fish is drier and much healthier.

+Tyler Seydel Thanks. I'm a chef wanna-be. ;) That's the plan in the future actually. I'm hoping to have some videos where fish are caught, followed by some cooking.
What type of oil do u use?
Any neutral oil like canola, peanut, grapeseed....
Maybe a dumb question, but what kind of oil are you cooking with?
I use grapeseed.
thanks you
+licho cruz You're welcome.
What's the difference in cooking both sides shallow fry and deep fry? Clearly they get the same amount of oil at the same temperature.Interested go know why the flavour changes.

Start at 2:20
The first 2 minutes and 20 seconds is in fact the best part, blabbering with no substance.
I want to go fishing for halibut who would you recommend

How thinly sliced should I slice the halibut?
Like the ones in the video, maybe 1cm thick or less?
What kind of oil did you use?
I use grapeseed.
@@FishingwithRod perfect! Thank you. I'll be making it this weekend

+William Cargile Thanks. Grapeseed oil is what we use. :)
Cooking with rod
+Victor Lai :)
i do this with sole but i use flour instead of bread crumbs
+Shane Wickham Sole would be awesome for this too. :) My favourite is in fact lingcod.
One egg, or two eggs?
I already have the planko bread crumbs!
It really doesn't matter how many eggs, which depend on how much fish you have to cook.
Fishing with Rod . Bought a pound, and a half of halibut steak in Captain Frank’s sea food market today in Boynton Beach,Florida; I cooked about a pound of it the same way as you did.
I used grape seed oil; and it was shallow fried.
The results were satisfactory; and tomorrow I will cook the rest of the halibut in peanut oil; and I’ll use slightly more oil.
How much did pay for the ends of the halibut?
Nelson Sousa I’m not totally sure what you are asking
No flour ?
Yep you can coat with flour first if you want. I personally haven't found much of a difference.
1) Thin slices produce dry over cooked fish. Just the opposite of what you say. 2) Season fish BEFORE you cover it with panko. 3) Use fresh (soft) panko. 4) Crank that heat up!

Am good with 1 year old fish 🐠🤮
For most species, one year old fish are still juveniles and not big enough for eating.
