Halibut vierge

Sûeh-Tsai Mŏw-Töw it says on the other side of the tin, snow cabbage green soybeans. It is exactly the same thing as collard greens or mustard greens and the like, and I mean exactly like those things, except different.

The halibut comes from an exotic and distant land, grand on a scale impossible to comprehend and mostly frozen in various forms of ice and snow for most of the year and the place is known mostly for the days being either all daylight or all nighttime darkness with ridiculously short in between phases, along with other exotic displays having to do with planetary magnetism and charged particles and solar wind. Witnesses describe it an awesome inspiring and moving spectacle of shifting patterns of streaked light that appears to dance across the sky. 

Alaska. It is extraordinary. These halibut fish are big as people, some of them are. This one wasn't but some are. You can go there and fish for them yourself if you like rough sea adventure. Your fishing pole will be thick as a broomstick and about as short. The larger halibut do not fight much but you just try to lift them up from off the sea floor. They do not cooperate. I saw this on television and my friends confirmed it. The one guy on television and his friends were all huge men. Linebacker type big guys. The fellow struggled for a very long time, the weather moved in and things became choppy, the guy goes, "It's like dragging up a garage door." At length he gets the fish at the edge of the boat and the other men helped pull it in and it was like dragging a wet king size mattress onto the boat which is a recreational boat, not a commercial fishing boat, and he breaks one of his fingers getting the fish flipped on deck. 

Halibut revenge. The cost demanded of the sea. A navy diver friend of my brother said it is sort of like space in that your tools just go away from you, in his case plunk, and they're gone forever, utterly unforgiving. He said they lost more expensive tools that way and there is nothing they could do about it, no getting them back. The amount of hand tools lost is incredible. It was like nothing could be removed from the sea without the sea reaching up and taking something else to even out the give and take. They're all generally sensible people other than that, non superstitious scientific educated people.
