Careful what you say around here. "Wide Open" "Huge Butt" & "Getting Bent" to name a few, always brings out HTBO. :rolleyes:


I caught about a dozen the other day....more of a nuisance if you ask me.

It's Part of the flounder family, is this a sole fish? If so they taste better than halibut if you batter and deep fry them up. Super crispy and all you need to do is remove the center bone eat the rest like potatoe chips :)

pickens were slim
 

Had to put something on the table. They were tasty. Mini halibuts. Lol. I wish they were sole. Sandab. None the less had a good time. Thanks again everyone.

Sand dabs are delisious. Take a pair of scissors and just trim around the body. Take off head, fins, and guts with one pass. Lightly season and cook on a hot skillet. If you time the cooking right a light shake will cause 2 perfect little fillets to slide off the bones. A little lemon and you're good to go. Mike

I could go for some sand dabs right about now....:reel:

Thanks for the recipe. The last time I tried to cook these it was a disaster. Next time I'll give your method a try.

i wanted to catch sand dabs. i ended up catching that thresher. lol. nice going out there!

I hear the cheek meat is da bomb!! :D

:DSand dabs... the Bluegill of the Halibut family..

Those Sand Dabs are delicious. No BS.

Easy to cut, follow the lines on the white side.
Scissor cut the fins, fry in olive oil.

Season with garlic salt, Progresso Italian Breadcrumbs, and into the pan they go.

Medium heat on the oil - don't burn them.
-----------------------
Be advised you can use an 8 hook rig when fishing for them. no limit.

what depth they at?

suspended at 25 ft....

whos going out? and when?
 

sandy bottoms. all depths. these ones were deep. probaly 380 feet. crap kicken for slim pickens. but after a long day of paddling in nasty conditions , they went down righteoulsy. :notworthy: . pm for upcoming trips.
