Pretty much!!

5 halibut pieces and 1 cod piece are gone from dinner last night.
Tackling the king in a few more hours, almost thawed enough.

I'm thinking by March 1st everything will be gone 


On a side note, I might have a father in law that will cruise with you to fish for a week whenever you make the journey on the boat again.

Thanks Chris and Curtis for dredging the bottom of the freezer and finding me some scallops!

A little Garlic and hot butter and they'll shake out fine

Great meeting you last night! Looking forward to eating some Halibut soon!

Well folks, the HFC 2020 sale is a wrap!  It was great seeing all of you again, and I really enjoyed my Tour De Washington this year.  Thanks to everybody for the extra effort to come out to meet me (I know I'm not quite Amazon Prime here!), and a special thanks to those of you that offered to feed, beer, and house me along the way. 

A couple of notes on the trip -

I was contacted by a WDFW officer along the way about the sale, and I have to say I was very impressed with his approach to my business in WA.  I interact with a lot of LEO in my fishing business as a matter of course (mostly USCG, NOAA, and AKDFG enforcement), but this encounter was easy, helpful, and educational.


I can't believe I did this without a freezer trailer last year.  Wouldn't have been possible to do the volume we did this year without it. Looks like I'll be buying a freezer trailer or maybe small freezer truck soon. If anybody knows of one coming up for sale, let me know.

I'm also looking to expand my WA operations a bit, and looking at potentially locating a base of operations on the I-5 corridor somewhere between Mount Vernon and the King County line.  If anybody knows of a small commercial property in that area I'd be interested in taking about it.

An extra special thank you, and producer credit, goes to @ctwiggs1 . He was instrumental in making this thing go this year.  His push to move to the web-based ordering through my website was key to keeping things organized.  Thanks man 

Thanks a lot for yet another successful sale HuntWa!   

Chris

Once again, and can't be said enough Thanks Chris for doing this.

So a funny little story about the bolded above, if anyone does not think WDFW monitors this site they did not just happen to be there when Chris showed up, they knew where and when.
So I get there right at the start time, spy Chris and his rig in the parking lot and notice someone talking to him, yep the WDFW, so i pull in and park to wait out what's happening.
After a few minutes a few more members show up so we get out and are B'sing as Chris bribes the fuzz 
He gets the all clear to procced and gets to it, as i am waiting my turn i notice a member i knew from the last fish buy so i mosey over and make small talk, right about then a gal from coastal bank which was right by us wanders over and says " hey we over at the bank have been watching and wondering what's going on?", without missing a beat i blurt out "we are buying drugs" and shes says "we thought so with a laugh" and i reply "delicious drugs"

Hey its all the same to me!  i didnt even know what scallops were before karl asked me to pick them up.

It was nice to meet you and i need to pay better attention to your next sale. The wife said we need some salmon!

Thank you again, had shrimp one night and Halibut night before last and excellent as always! If you are looking at commercial space check out the Arlington/ Smokey Point area it is growing exponentially and there is literally millions of square feet of new commercial space going in. In fact Amazon will be starting a 2.2 million square foot facility soon and there are multiple builds going on currently, including multi-story apartment and retirement complexes.

Someone needs to figure out how to get him a microwave in the front of his truck for "Zippymart Burritos and the Gas Station jerky" he feasts on while is doing this.

That was my thought too.  A huge commercial complex just opened by Nutty's at the old lumber mill.  That should also open some existing spaces at the airport that are likely lower rent.  Tons of commercial places of all sizes in the area.
