Tuna Harbor Dock

A dinner on a dock is a unique opportunity to put fisherpeople at the forefront – highlighting the work they do in the physical space where they do it. The wharf where we’ll set the table has beautifully expansive views of the San Diego Harbor and the sparkling Pacific and is usually the scene of San Diego’s open-air seafood market directed by our host fisherman Peter Halmay. Peter is one of the first sea urchin divers in San Diego and has made over 21,000 dives over his lifetime. He’ll tell us all about his underwater work while we enjoy a seafood-centric feast from guest chefs Travis Swikard and Mike Reidy. Travis worked for Daniel Bouloud in NYC for many years before moving back to San Diego to open Callie, his fish-forward restaurant inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean coast. Mike is a fisherman-turned-chef with a lifelong love of the sea. His menus at The Fishery highlight the hard work of local fisherpeople and local farmers alike, adjusting for the seasons of both land and sea.
