Where can I buy fish taco style smoked Marlin?

[SanDiego]

Does anyone know of a local casual restaurant or market that sells Marlin for fish tacos in bulk, similar to how Porkyland sells Carnitas to go by the kilo? I'm looking for 2 kilos of smoked Marlin for a make your own fish taco night. Thanks!

TJ Oyster Bar on Bonita Road in Chula Vista has Marlin fish tacos. Decently priced, very tasty seafood in a tiny, hole-in-the-wall, hard-to-find location that's always jam-packed with people. Their fish tacos and ceviche are a staple for the locals in-the-know.

North Park Farmers Market (Thursdays 4ish -7ish) has a smoked fish lady that has Marlin more often than not - but since she usually has about 10 different types of fish, you'll be able to find something close. We tried the smoked swordfish as a replacement one night and it worked fine.

Thanks all. I ended up at the San Diego Farmers Market (Commercial Street and 22nd). There's one prepared fish stall, with no smoked Marlin, but I bought Civiche and Camerones Aguachile. Good value. They had several kilos of camerones being prepped on the center table. I assume they were thawed from frozen, but the taste was quite good.

For future reference: I'm also thinking Northgate Gonzalez Market might carry it, they have a large seafood counter.
