Learn more about our weekly fresh catch and hear the latest local fishing news!
We’ve got a full Point Arena menu for you this week!
With days upon days of nice weather,
the fleet has been out fishing and upgrading their gear.
Did you know that each crab trap has an escape cotton? This is a place on the trap where the wire mesh is cut and replaced with a piece of twine called a “cotton”. This mandatory safety feature is in place to rot away over time and create an escape hole for wildlife. Should a trap ever be lost, the cotton will rot first to allow escapement while the ocean more slowly works on the metal.
This week our local fishermen replaced each one of these pieces of twine on their traps. You certainly don’t want them rotting out mid-season and all your crab escaping!
As for fresh catch, Captain Peter and deckhand Jay on the F/V Moli made a special rockfish trip for us. Each armed with a rod & reel, the guys pulled up some beautiful black & blue rockfish! We love the care they put into their catch, and these skin-off/bone out white fillets will make incredible tacos, picata, or any other fish dish!
In between all the jigging for rockfish, it was also time to turn the crab gear. We will have a limited selection of live & cooked crab on offer! I’d like to try something a bit different this week, for ease of service so please read carefully:
