| Tuna Harbor Dockside Market |
The Tuna Harbor Dockside Market is a relatively new fish market in downtown San Diego, debuting on August 2, 2014. Located on the Fish Harbor Pier, at 598 Harbor Lane, San Diego CA 92101 (south end of Pacific Highway where it enters the Seaport Village parking lot), the dockside market offers fresh, locally caught fish for purchase directly from the fishermen (many whose boats are just behind their stands). The market is open every Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, many of the vendors have sold out well before 1:00 PM, so get there early!
Ingrid and I have been meaning to get down to the market for many months now but only got around to visiting the market for the first time last week. The market was small - about six booths or so - but a promising start for a fresh, local, and relatively inexpensive fish market. We perused the various stands, looking at California Halibut, California Sheephead, Box Crab, Spider Crabs, Spiny Lobsters, Welks, Sea Urchin, and various other local fish.

The catch at the market is always local, seasonal, fresh, and
ethically produced. The one catch with the market is that you'll have
to bone up on your cleaning and filleting skills. Nonetheless, this is a
great place to find the freshest, most local seafood in San Diego.
Stay tuned for tips on cleaning, filleting, and cooking the seafood
found at this market.
