BEASTFISH: 287 `Pounder

Part 1 (part 2 below)


This episode features a 287 pound fish being weighed and admired, then the start of filleting it. Halibut are known to grow to "barn door" proportions, weighing as much as 600 pounds! The meat is white and delicate, but these old cows are the breeding stock. It's the younger fish that taste best, and contain fewer parasites. Instead of scales for protection, halibut secrete a thick mucus, making them tricky and messy to process.
