Did your halibut filets come with the skin on?

I got some Wednesday and had a devil of a time removing it before cooking.

 

They almost always have skin on the bottom.  Unless you are making battered fish and chips, you don't need to remove the skin before cooking

 

I start the filets good side up and then it flip it with skin side down and finish in the oven.  If you slide a metal spatula/ flipper between the flesh and the skin it

slides right off.  Or you can just plate it and the meat just comes away from the skin with each forkful.     

 

If I'm making fish and chips I always ask the person behind the fish counter to remove the skin for me.
