As per San Francisco Chronicle of today, the Salmon Season has just started:

Any ideas where to find local Salmon, somewhere in the city?

I did some searches in this board, but could not find any recent topics on
salmon in the city.

Thanks

The fresh-local Half Moon Bay salmon I had from Cook's Seafood in MP this weekend was on the "best ever" list. The taste was so much more delicate than anything I've had in a long time. Salmon season!

They've been feeding on krill which also gives them a brighter-than-usual red color.

Pillar Pt still has boats selling King Salmon from the boats. Don't know the price per pound currently, although it was $10/lb when the season started.

Albacore tuna is also available off the boats.

It was available at the Ferry Bldg Market on Saturday -- very fresh and wonderful to cook. Should be there next week also -- the fish stand on the north side of the aisle running east from Gandhi.

Can you buy less than a whole fish off the boats at Pillar Pt?

Both Shogun and the newer fish seller over on the side by Acme and Downhome Bakery had relatively local salmon. Shogun's was from Half Moon Bay and the other was from Monterey Bay.

Prices? My first of the season I got at Real Foods on Polk for a shocking $28 lb. I would have waited, but I had made a rash promise. I did see some at the Blue Moon smokehouse stand at Alemanney (damn! I can never spell that) FM for a much more reasonable $18 lb. To my knowledge all fresh from the boat fish sales must by law be whole fish. If you think a whole salmon is hard to use up, how about a whole sea bass!

I have gotten albacore already filleted from the boat in Fort Bragg. Perhaps it is a county regulation?

Maybe you have to have a retail license as well as a commercial fishing licence to sell "processed" fish.

Prices from Shogun and the other fish seller at the Ferry Plaza Market were around $24/lb for filet pieces.

Off the boats at Pillar Point Harbor.

Do you know what the going rate is if you buy a couple of whole fish directly from the boats at Pillar Point?
