As posts on food seem popular (my post on cedar plank salmon gets a fair amount of traffic), I thought I would highlight another great part of living in the Northwest and the types of seafood available.  If you’ve never heard of halibut cheeks, I’m sorry.  I hadn’t before we moved here and they are quite possibly one of the most amazing pieces of fish you can eat.  I am even on the halibut cheeks call list at Tim’s Seafood here in Kirkland so that I can get them when they come in.

My favorite way?  Ginger and Soy.  Shave a piece of ginger root and stir it into some soy sauce.  Pour it over the cheeks and let it steam covered.  The most difficult piece of this recipe is finding them – and not sure you’ll see them too far from the Northwest.
