In celebration of their halibut festival, our good friends at Market Street restaurants have given us a $50 gift card to give away to one lucky reader.
Fresh, wild Alaska halibut – the world’s premium whitefish – will soon be featured a variety of delicious ways at lunch and dinner at all Market Street Grill, Broiler, and Oyster Bar locations.
New on the lunch and dinner Halibut Special Menus is Fresh Alaska Halibut stuffed with Maryland Crab Cake topped with Hollandaise & Parmesan Cheese. Also on the menu is a Fresh Alaska Halibut Caesar Salad, Fresh Alaska Halibut Louie, Fresh Alaska Halibut & Shrimp, and Fresh Alaska Halibut Fish n’ Chips – just to name a few. Low in fat, calories, and sodium and high in quality protein, wild Alaska halibut is definitely a great catch.
For the home chef, Alaska’s delicious wild halibut can be purchased at all three Market Street Fish Markets. Bill McArthur, Chef at Market Street Grill & Oyster Bar/Cottonwood says, “No fish is easier to prepare. It is delicious baked, broiled, steamed, poached, grilled, barbecued, or blackened and served with tartar sauce or a wedge of fresh lemon.” The Fish Markets also offer free halibut recipes cards, provided by Market Street chefs.
With sustainability a major concern for everyone who enjoys seafood, Market Street’s wild Alaska halibut is not included on the list of seafood that is in danger from overfishing, habitat damage, or pollution. Alaska has provided the model for sustainability and has set the world’s gold standard for its precautionary approach to resource management of its seafood. As a result Alaska’s halibut fisheries can exist long-term without compromising the survival of the species or the health of the surrounding ecosystem. With this in mind, halibut lovers can enjoy this fresh, wild, delicious product knowing that it is plentiful and will be available for years to come.
To put your name in the hat for the $50 gift card, all you need to do is complete the following sentence:

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
