Fishing in San Diego isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life. For generations, local families have made their living from the sea, passing down hard-earned knowledge and tradition. When you choose locally caught fish, you support San Diego fishermen, help our local economy thrive, and make a more sustainable choice for the planet.

San Diego fishermen harvest over 120 species of local seafood each year—using sustainable practices and seasonal guidelines that protect the ocean while delivering fresh catch to your table.

Our Community Programs connect local fishermen with those in need—delivering fresh, locally caught seafood through partnerships and grants to families, seniors, and food-insecure communities.
