Halibut can be found in valley
Thanks to a high-power Canadian radio station, a Michigan restaurant chain’s jingle blew all over the Midwest during the ’60s and ’70s with many memorable lines, but one in particular: "I just go to Elias Brothers for the halibut." That came to mind when I received K.J. Howe’s request for halibut fish and chips — which, readers say, can be found in Las Vegas.
Victoria Wakefield recommended the "wonderful" halibut and chips at the Monte Carlo Brew Pub at the Monte Carlo, 3770 Las Vegas Blvd. South, and Michele Bonelli suggested those served at the Big Sur Oyster Bar at the South Point, 9777 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
Russ Morgan e-mailed that Arctic Circle Restaurants sell halibut fish and chips, adding "the only catch is that the closest location is in St. George," Utah. Then again, he added, you can get some fry sauce while you’re there, which he recommends on the fish and chips. And Patrick Smith e-mailed that the Outside Inn, 9941 W. Charleston Blvd., uses walleye, but added, "it’s worth a try." …
