Halibut Jaws Display
Remember seeing a thread a few years back about the preparation of Halibut jaws for display. Anyone find me the link as I can not find it or lets discuss this again.
I would like to do this as I was in a Wide Open Halibit Bite yesterday and got my PB at 40 pounds  Thanks in advance for the help, Chris Wild, wild, summer ! |

I've done this several times... My favorite way is to wrap the head in tin foil and add enough canola oil to crate a base under the head. Bbq on low heat for 8 minutes a side. The meat will fall right off the bones. Then take a toothpick and toothbrush and start scrubbing the remainder of the jaw in water. It depends how you want to display the jaw but some cheap wire from any hobby store will do the trick. Coil the ends a few times and then hot glue gun it together!
I did this one a few minutes too long and ended up burning the bone :/  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Awesome info, thank you very much.
I was just about ready to go the maggot route  How big is the fish in your jaw photo? |

I haven't been lucky enough to catch a Halibut yet but I did this a few years back with a sheepshead. I bet it would work with a Halibut too. I put the head in a a crockpot until the teeth just fell off. Then I bleached them to get them really white. Funny thing was I ended up giving it to my Uncle as a gag gift.

Wow that was easy doing the oil bbq method, thanks man.
Crockpot would certainly work as well. |

Jaws I made from Saturday's 23lb catch while out on the boat. I boiled it, dry it out and used elmers glue. He was missing some teeth.

Wow looks like they turned out really well! One mistake I made on mine... Make sure you spray it with some kind of clear enamel... The rust oleum clear coat works well! The jaws I posted up were from a 33#er I shot freediving in 4 ft of water  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What is the purpose of spraying with enamel - what does it do? |

Mine yellowed a little! The other jaws I've done and sprayed with the clear coat have done much better. Yours look great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
