Pacific Halibut
(Hippoglossus stenolepis) is a member of the flounder family. The halibut has a flat body with eyes on the right side with the skin on the top side mottled in colour to blend into the ocean floor. The underside of the Halibut is white. It is the largest of all flatfish and can weigh in excess of 100 lbs. Typical catch weights range from 20 lbs to 80 plus pounds with majority falling into a range of 10 to 60 lbs.
Spot Prawns

The prawn’s body colour is usually reddish brown or tan with white horizontal bars on the carapace (shell) and distinctive white spots on the first and fifth abdominal segments. While large females can exceed 23 cm (9 inches) in total length, the restricted carapace (shell) size limit for harvest is 33 mm (1 1/3 inch) long. The spot prawn is known for its sweet, delicate flavor and firm texture.
Rock Fish
(Sebastes alutus) The Pacific rockfish family is the most important year-round source of ground fish on the West Coast. Marketed widely as Pacific snapper, these fish produce fillets that are mild and slightly sweet-tasting.
Albacore Tuna
(Thunnus alalunga) is a fin fish distinguished by a dark blue back, and silver white sides and belly. Adult albacore tuna have pectoral fins that extend past the second dorsal fin and anal fin. Its flesh is pink when raw and off-white when cooked. Mature albacore tuna can reach as much as 45 kg (100 lbs) although the average market weight is 9 kg (20 lbs). Albacore tuna has a mild taste and soft texture.
Ling Cod
(Ophiodon elongatus) One of the most notable features of this fish is its great, gaping mouth with a projecting lower jaw and numerous sharp teeth. The largest individual on record is 152 cm in length and weighing 36.3 kg. The coloring is typically bold, mottled colors in shades of brown, grey or green.

Its claws are white-tipped, and the tip of the last tail segment flap is rounded. This crab species has a sweet, mild and slightly nutty taste with tender body meat and slightly firmer leg meat
Sockeye Salmon
(Oncorhynchus nerka) has speckles on its deep blue-green back and silver sides. Its small-flaked flesh is the most intensely red of the 5 Pacific salmon species. Whole sockeye have an average weight of approximately 2.7 kg (6 lbs), but can range between 1 kg (2 lbs) and 4 kg (9 lbs). The high fat content of sockeye imparts an intense rich flavor to its firm textured flesh.
Coho Salmon
(Oncorhynchus kisutch) outward appearance can differ greatly depending on their point of origin, but they all share the common distinguishing feature of white gums. The third largest of the five Pacific salmon species, Coho has a firm and vibrant vermillion flesh. On average, whole Coho weigh between 4 lbs and 12 lbs. Similar to sockeye in flavour and texture, wild Coho possesses fine-textured flesh and a full flavor.
Chum Salmon
(Oncorhynchus keta) Their flesh colour is reddish-pink though it fades as the watermarks appear. Whole chum salmon have an average weight of approximately 3.5 kg (8 lbs), but can range between 2 kg (4 lbs) and 9 kg (20 lbs). It has a mild, less full-bodied flavor and firm flesh with a slightly drier texture due to its low fat content.
