For sand dabs you descale them, dehead them, gut them and fry them. They do hade some bones but on the bigger ones like 10 or more inches they can be good.

Haha, if the minimum size for sand dabs is the same as halibut, that would be a monster fish.... Great eating fish no doubt.! The best size is about the width of your frying pan. Tight lines John |

Fry em up in olive oil and garlic the meat falls right off the bones then make a tasty sandwich or mix it up with some rice.

I had sand dabs at a restaurant in Monterrey. They were excellent eating. If you catch enough of them, they would make a great meal.

Sand dabs are very good eating. If you have the patience you can fillet them but it is easier to fry or saute them whole. I've seen the fast n easy way to clean them by taking kitchen shears and cutting off the head, guts, and then around the body to remove fins and tail. After that you can eave the skin on rip it off.
