Cabo San Lucas is internationally known for its incredible fishing charters! Such an exciting adventure! In the month of February the Cabo San Lucas Fishing Charters are reeling in, bonito, grouper, marlin, hammerhead shark, roosterfish, jack crevalle as well as snapper and yellow fin tuna. Reports coming in are that most boats are having great days and great catches!
Afterwards, as you are coming back to the Cabo San Lucas Marina, you might be wondering what choices are available for your fresh catch. It might be a good time to clean the fish, fillet it and wrap it up, (put on ice) and head to a local restaurant for a celebration and astonishing meal! But who will clean and pack the fish? Or is it too late to set up taxidermy? Can I possibly carry this home, but how? After researching these topics, I was surprised to see that many options are available.
After contacting a few restaurants in the area, I discovered it’s very easy to have your fresh catch turned into a fantastic dining experience. Setting this up ahead of time is important.

There are certainly other options, maybe your resort’s resident restaurant would prepare your catch for you or you could prepare it yourself. If you are looking to have a romantic dinner on the beach, then ask for a box to go, pick up some wine or your favorite beverage and kick back and enjoy!
If you are interested in transporting your catch back home, Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter will clean your fish and pack it for you! If you want to skip the dinner at the restaurant, and take your fish home, they will help you with that as well with good options for shipping. Blue Sky will pack and freeze your catch and the customer can take it home using a cooler or flexible cooler bag. The cost runs about $1.50 per pound to clean and pack. Be sure to double-check the airline pound restrictions and other concerns before heading to the San Jose Del Cabo International Airport.
Taxidermy is an option. Especially if you have a beautiful catch. Depending on the fish, this could be a wonderful idea. If you are thinking of releasing the fish some things to consider are: measurements of the fish that are precise. Also photos would be a plus. Trip Advisor would be a good source to determine the taxidermy company of your choice. Fiberglass is an option used to make the replica of the fish. Fiberglass has proven to last much longer and encourages the protection of your gorgeous fish!
