Just for the Halibut!

Blair caught the most fish on the boat and the guides asked him if he wanted a new job. But...a girl caught the biggest on----a 118 lb. The boys were fascinated with the cutting up of the fish and watched it w/delight. We thought Natalie would hurl at any time...but we were all quite proud of her...she did good. The guides were great to explain what they were doing and show us the parts of the fish as they cut. One guy cut the eye out and then took the lens out of the eyeball for the boys to see.

A halibut starts out with two eyes on the side of it's face and then the one eye migrates to the bottom next to the other eye. It's a pretty UGLY fish. The white side of the fish faces the bottom of the ocean and the dark side on top. It swims like a stingray. He also cut the top of the fish off and took out one of it's ears (on the 118lb fish) It was just tiny.
