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 independently 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'.

Sometimes we do house calls... 🤫

Even though our tables on the Spit are closed for the season, every once in a while we can’t resist picking up the knife. We hopped aboard The Captain Cook with Captain Malcolm to fillet a few beeeautiful butts—the same high-quality catch you’ll often find featured in our shop during the summer season (thanks to Billy Sullivan) ! 🐟
