Halibut Small Magnet – Pewter Fridge Magnet, Made in USA

The Pacific Halibut, often known as the "Barn Door" due to its massive size, is a prized flatfish species inhabiting the cold waters of the North Pacific. This impressive fish can weigh hundreds of pounds and reach lengths exceeding eight feet. Pacific Halibut are renowned for their delicious, mild-flavored white flesh, making them a sought-after catch in both recreational and commercial fishing. They are often referred to simply as "Halibut." These formidable flatfish are masters of disguise, with both eyes on one side of their flattened bodies. They share a family resemblance with other flounders and sole species. Halibut have a voracious appetite and are skilled ambush predators, lying camouflaged on the ocean floor before striking at passing prey. Their migratory habits take them on journeys up and down the continental shelf, and they are known to venture into deep waters. Halibut fishing is a thrilling endeavor, given the sheer size and strength of these fish. Whether you're a sport angler seeking a trophy catch or a seafood lover savoring a gourmet meal, the Pacific Halibut holds a special place in the world of fishing and cuisine.

Craft & construction

Powerful magnets that actually hold. Our magnet strengths have a pull rating of at least 3 lbs, and go up to 7 lbs for larger pieces. These are not the cheaper ferrite/ceramic magnets. They are high quality neodymium and pack enough pull-strength to grip firmly and hold to a refrigerator with more than a single sheet of paper or photo between. Our magnets are bonded in our studio by an artisan with an industrial-strength adhesive to ensure they never come loose.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
