H alibut’s is a full-service restaurant with
the soul o f a sim ple fish and chip shack.
Ex-bartender and Portland native Dave
M ackay opened H alibut’s last A pril, add­
ing a lounge, H alibut’s II, earlier this year.
M ackay said business is great, with his
crow ds so diverse " it’s ridiculous," but he
prom ises his menu w on't stray from a
traditional offering o f fish, chips, chow der
and cocktails.
Dishes hover around $ 10 and are m od­
estly served up in paper-lined baskets.
But they pack a punch that M ackay says
is worthy o f fancier joints like Ja k e's Bar
and Grill.

“ I'm old school,” he said. “ I'v e got a
good sized piece o f fish cooked ju st right.”
M ackay said a successfully cooked
piece o f fish isn’t over breaded and is
perfectly timed. He personally cuts his
fish and m akes the chow der, buys his
batter weekly at Fred M eyer and tastes
every cocktail sauce to com e out o f the
kitchen.
"I d o n 't know about an English or Irish
style," he said, "m ine is my ow n.”
H alibut's has Friday night fish specials
and live blues every Thursday. M ackay’s
musical acts are culled from his 35 years in
the business, adding an elem ent o f enter­
tainm ent to A lberta's monthly Last T hurs­
day art walk.
“I want this to be a neighborhood place,”
he s a id , a d d in g th a t as b u s in e s s
progresses h e’d like to donate to the com ­
m unity and help local schools.
Halibut's is located at 2527 N.E. Alberta.
T h ey ’re open Sunday through W ednes­
day 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Thursday
through Saturday 11:30 a.m. to midnight.

“We have asked her to take a leave
during a tim e o f transition,” Bylsm a said.
He said the leave is unrelated to any
other issue.
As forT aylor being locked out, Bylsma
said he had the locks changed after clinic
property showed up missing in December.
He declined to com m ent on what was
missing or who took the items.
Bylsma said the board’s decisions are
internal, but conversely m entioned that
the clinic has received “ many, many let­
ters.” He declined to com m ent on the
origin or nature o f the letters.
Bylsma also said the board is only en ­
couraging T aylor to relinquish an adm in­
istration role she already w anted to give
up.
“She has said th a t's not her gift,” he
said. “She has said sh e’s w anted to give
up her role as adm inistrator before we
started the board.”
In January, the board hired a human

Both T aylor and Bylsm a said th ey ’re
waiting for a report from the consultant
group and a decision on an attem pt to
solve their dispute through mediation,
perhaps follow ed by a second attem pt at
mediation.
Bylsm a said h e’s waiting for the objec­
tive party to m ake a decision.
"W e’re in the process o f discussing
w hat her role w ould be," Bylsm a said.
“W e've offered her substantial severance,
w e're com m itted to being fair.”
T aylor’s attorney N ick Fish said there
