Sanddab are prized for their delicate texture and flavor, though many people have never had the opportunity to savor this delectable fish.
Sandab must be in their plentiful stage now. On Aug. 28 four Emeryville Sportfishing boats caught 240 Sanddab and on the 25th, 3 boats went out and caught 250 Sanddab.
