Buttwhackers

Buttwhackers You catch 'em, we cut 'em! Quality fish filleting conveniently located behind the Salty Dawg Saloon. Through combining the two nicknames, Buttwhackers was born.

In the late 1980s, fish filleters were given the nickname "whackers" because they literally "whacked" (or filleted) halibut. Homer, Alaska is known as the halibut fishing capital of the world, and gradually fisherman came to use the nickname "Butts" as a shorthand to refer to the species, halibut. Buttwhackers was created in 2002 to provide the dock and fillet services to charters and independentl

y owned boats. Still today, we provide fisherman and captains alike with a location to unload and hang their catch, take photos, and of course, the show of 'whacking butts'.

The magic of fish printing with doesn’t stop at the art! ✨ A common question I get is, “Can you still eat it?” The answer is a resounding YES! After your beautiful print is made, I personally fillet your fish at Buttwhackers so you can take it home to enjoy. It’s the ultimate experience!
