If you're in the Bay Area, I'd like to encourage you to visit the Santa Cruz Wharf (also the Pacifica Pier, to lesser degree) in August through October (like, right now).

The anchovies are ridiculously present right now: millions of them, visible from the surface, swimming in a vast school that parts when sea lions swim by.

They're tasty when fried fresh. They're not salty like a canned anchovy filet, and less fishy than you expect. Delicious! I guess I'm a "rough person" as the article states.



Did you catch them yourself?


Yes! Well, my kids caught most of them. It's some of the easiest fishing imaginable - anchovies will bite bare hooks.


Sounds like a wonderful day out! Thanks for sharing
