cilantro and fish
I bought some halibut at the TJ fish market and they threw a bushel of cilantro in with it. I chopped some up for the tarter sauce but whats the deal,

and yeah yeah yeah catch your own only eat the fresh stuff blah blah blah, I agree but I dont like fish enough to go bake in gonzaga heat!

halibut is not a good fish for ceviche as they are known to harbor parasites, especially in the summer months. rockfish is another one to avoid.
ceviche is a chemical type of cooking and doesn't kill parasites. unless the fish has been frozen at 0 degrees for at least 3 days first, it isn't
recomended.

Cilantro kills bacteria and can prevent salmonella. Maybe that's why it was included with the halibut.

Just chop the cilatro and mix it with sour cream or mayo. Squeeze in some lime and use just as you would tartar sauce, on the side, or, spread it on
fillets and grill. Use for baked potato or steak or whatever--- so simple and so good!

If it was for ceviche why didn't he give you an onion, tomato peppers and lime, sounds like it was just a tease

I moved to CO and they made me buy a little rod to make it feel like a real fish

Here is the most cilantro-intensive fish recipe I could find. It uses 2 cups of cilantro, made into pesto, slathered on top of fish and baked.
To me it sounds absolutely dreadful:

Maybe the cilantro was to keep the flies off the fish?

A leeetle beeeet of Cilantro goes a long way. Use sparingly or it will take forever to get that taste out of your mind.
