Already mentioned things such as Bonine (I find it does not make you as sleepy as Dramamine), etc. help. Scopalamine patch is good but you need a scrip from a Doc and it does make you sleepy (cut it and only using half helps) Don't ride in an enclosed cabin stay outside if you can. Pressure bands for your wrists were available at places such as West Marine. These bands help with the psychological aspect of sea sickness in that you know you've taken something to help so mentally you should not feel bad. Keeping your eyes on the horizon, even keeping your head upright while little things such doing things such as tying hooks also helps. If you do get sick while offshore have them drop you off on a rig for awhile and if its too rough to do that, jump in the water for awhile with a life jacket on and tether yourself with a rope attached to the boat and see if this helps relieve symptoms.
