Either boat is quite a bargain. Be sure to tip the deckhands after fish cleaning since they worked hard all the way home for pennies a fish. Sacks full of sand dabs lining up for cleaning. After you have tried one of these tasty little fishes, you will want more than one like my friends did. The dab's flavor is somewhere with halibut and rockfish.
Restaurants consider sand dabs as a delicacy.
I agree with all the positive ratings and I rate their taste somewhere up there with halibut and rock cod. When pan fried hard to crispy edges the smaller bones of the fish become crispy and brittle, breaking up when chewed and the flavor of the fish is brought out fully. Do not eat the large bones they are still inedible and dangerous. With any fish regardless of how bony one should always consume with caution. A regular bucket almost filled to the top after a day of solid sand dab fishing.
