halibut

Coho, Sockeye, Silver, Chinook, Pink  = types of pacific salmon.  

All gorgeous, 

but what about halibut?  with their migrating eye, both popping up at you from the same side of the head when you pull them out of the deep like from another planet, all flat with fins rippling for propulsion, green on top and white underneath for camoflage from above and below, sideways mouth to eat the crap off the bottom, scrape it up and gulp, nice white meat, not fishy like salmon, but neutral, can do anything with it, or nothing with it, just eat it, old ones wormy and tough, young ones tender, nicknamed chickens if they're small like 30-60 lbs, if they're big they come up like pulling a barn door off the floor of the ocean, dead weight, not much fight, if they're really big like over 300 lbs you shoot them in the head before trying to bring them over the side so they don't flop around and wreck shit or knock people into the drink, if you're fishing off the dock try put your line near where the cannery waste tube lets out, town sewer line works too, lots a halibut around those places.
