Here are some pictures I took at the new fish house. The ocean boats put their fish in vats. This is a vat of Spanish Mackerel
as the workers are packaging the mackerel they separate the sizes, these are large
When the river fishermen come in, they weigh their fish then put them in these totes and cover in ice. The fish house workers will sort them and package the fish in 50-pound boxes to ship to markets.
Other than driving across town the only other thing I dislike about this fish house is you have to shovel your ice out of vats and if you are like me with a bad back it is very difficult. This is my husband getting ice.
This is a sea robin I caught a few days ago.
I caught this little pompano in my sandflea rake. A month ago they were the size of a quarter. See his eyes looking down? This means he was looking for food on the bottom. If you look at a fishes eyes when you catch them, it will tell you where they are looking in the water column. It takes a bit for their eyes to adjust.
This is all the sandfleas that I caught, not worth the time or energy I put into it. One days bait.
This is the sandfleas after being blanched and dried
