Tuna Harbor Dockside Market Tuna Harbor Dockside Market’s open-air seafood market where you can buy locally caught seafood direct from the fisherman.
(1081)

Tuna Harbor Dockside Market’s open-air seafood market aims to be the pride of the Port of San Diego. Focused on San Diego’s historic commercial fishing and aquaculture industries, local customers – both the public and chefs, will delight in purchasing fresh caught seafood and aquafarmed seaweed direct from their local fishermen and aquafarmers. With sustainable sourcing, minimal carbon footprints, and “supporting local” on the minds of San Diego’s health and environmentally-conscious community, Tuna Harbor Dockside Market stands to benefit all. The opportunity is now here for the customer to get closer to their food sources, gain an understanding and appreciation of the industries, and for young people to become inspired to consider careers in commercial fishing and aquaculture; and for the fishermen and aquafarmers to engage in direct-to-consumer sales and have the chance for an open dialog about what they sell and their methods used for catch and harvest.

Just a few reasons to support your local commercial fishermen!

Did you know that months of preparation, wire cutting, assembly, and trap building lead up to the start of the commercial fishing season for Spiny Lobster? Each trap is built by hand by fishermen as they prepare for the start of the season.

In September, expect to “sea” these species and more swimming to the market!

These are just some of the species typically found in San Diego waters during the month, but is not a complete list and this does not make them guaranteed on Saturdays!

REMEMBER, the catch changes every Saturday and no species is guaranteed week to week.
