How to Cut Halibut Steaks

Place dark side up on a large, flat, clean surface. Make an incision along the backbone, cutting the fish in half vertically. The belly part of the fish is to be discarded.

Make crosswise cuts, perpendicular to the bone, into steaks of desired sizes, with thickness from 3/4 to 2 inches. The ends, if too small for steaks, can be left for roasts or cut into fillets.
