Ahoy Mates!
The middle of the August! Is it
possible that the Albacore will give the central coast another slip this season?
Thank goodness that the Albacore have shown in good numbers off the Oregon
coast, and there have been a little show offshore San Diego, with the best
fishing in Mexican waters. Ever see a
lost fishermen wandering around Dockside ready to leave port but with no place
to go fishing? It very well may have been Capt. Mark! However, he continues to
stay busy working daily here making sure the fish that arrive for both the Fish
Market and Restaurant are the very best available. This week is no different.
Capt. Evans of the "Lucy L" is once again
seeing limited action with a splash of his local Halibut and Starry Flounder
which you can find in the Fish Market. Capt. Nailen of the "Seeker" spent
several days fishing offshore San Diego. The "Seeker" is a beautiful Radon Craft
that he can trailer back and forth. So we are thrilled to have a limited supply
of his fresh Albacore, Yellowtail, and even Mahi Mahi! We are also lucky to have
more King and Silver wild troll caught Salmon from Canada and Alaska. After
having gone a week without Halibut cheeks, we were blessed to receive another 50
pounds that are available in the Fish Market and will be featured in the
Restaurant. Additionally, we have some nice local Blackgill Rockfish, and
Longspines from Captains Blue and Rose. Longspines are a nice white fillet that
tastes like a cross between Blackcod, and Rockfish. Most Longspines are sent
directly to Asian markets, but as you know, we have offerings here at Dockside
that are often “out side of the box.”
Captains Blue, Rose and Cullen, are participating in a longline fishery with the
Nature Conservancy so we should be seeing these Longspines with some regularity.
Capt. Mark and I are looking forward to another fun weekend with live music out
on the patio. Come on by and let us wait on you in the Restaurant or just relax
out on the patio where Korea and Montana (our two yellow labs) will be hosting
our dog friendly area.
* Update *
Just prior to sending this weeks e-mail Capt. Mark spoke with Capt. Snyder out
of Avila Beach who has been fishing Halibut off of Ventura. The two will
rendezvous in Avila Beach tomorrow , and so now our limited" supply of Halibut
will actually be stronger! Capt. Mark & Miss Bonnie Tognazzini,
