Poor Mans Lobster

6 cups water
1/2 cup salt- I use kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
1-2 pounds of Halibut
1 stick butter



Cut Halibut up into 1 inch chunks. In a saucepan add the 6 cups of water, salt and sugar and bring to a boil. Add the pieces into the water and boil until the halibut comes to the surface, that should be the same amount of time the water comes back to a boil after you add the halibut. Melt the butter and pull halibut from the water and enjoy with the melted butter.
