Well our trip to Vancouver Island with Blue Wolf (http://www.bluewolfcharters.com/) was a success despite some very rough seas, I'll spare you the usual pics of dead bodies and instead on this thread I'll put up a few pics of how I like to prepare Pacific Halibut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_halibut)
These are Halibut cheeks and Yes they come from the head of the fish-Halibut of course have broad flat heads so there's lots of cheek meat-as you can see it has a bit different texture and overall is a bit sweeter taste-these have some Thai sweet chili sauce dribbled on as shown & are simply broiled.

Now that looks good. we also did a trip with BlueWolf, i just sauteed our in butter. I will try a fillet or two with Thai sauce. Thanks for the idea.
Roy from BlueWolf is awesome.

Coming from the east coast, halibut cheeks were a delicacy. We ate cod cheeks and tongues too. Sometimes fresh, sometimes salted.
