Halibut has long been a favorite in the diet of the Indians of the Pacific Coast, especially the Haida. The halibut figures prominently in Haida legends; one of which claims the First Man emerged after the Flood from a halibut that had violently shaken off its head and tail. Another legend says that the Queen Charlottes were once just a single island that became broken apart from the thrashing tail of a giant halibut deep under the earth.
