Ahoy,
King Salmon continues to be the fish of choice this week for many of our local fishermen including Capt. Mark of the “Bonnie Marietta.” After three steady days of fishing, Capt. Mark was able to replenish our supplies of local hook-and-line caught King Salmon. This week fillets from the Captain’s fish will be available for $21.95 per pound, or $10.95 per pound if you purchase a whole fish. In addition, in-house Apple wood smoked King Salmon bellies and collars will be available in the Market. For those of you who like smoked fish, the sweet, moist and flavorful bellies and collars are to die for!
Did you know… in January of this year, Dockside opened a third location in addition to our Restaurant and Fish Market? That’s right, Dockside 3…Smokehouse, Oyster Bar
& Pub. You can easily identify our newest addition because it is shaped like a big boat. At Dockside 3 we feature a variety of smoked seafood, chicken and beef. We also cater to those shellfish lovers who are looking for a more expansive selection of oysters, clams, and mussels. Finally if that’s not enough, we carry a variety of local wines, and showcase over 50 handcrafted beers with 16 fresh from the tap. If you see a smoked item at any of our locations, including those scrumptious bellies and collars we are featuring this week in the Market, it came fresh from the smoker at Dockside 3.
In other fishing news, Lingcod fishing remains steady with assorted landings from Capt. Shifflett of the “Mr. T,” Capt. Patchen of the “Kaps,” and Capt. Bigham of the “Big Time.” Lingcod will be available in the Market this week for $10.95 per pound while supplies last.
Finally this Sunday, May 19th we are proud to be throwing the 4th annual BBQ Oyster Feast and fireworks fundraiser on the patio at Dockside Too. Dockside donates 100% of the proceeds to the firework show in Morro Bay. Tickets are $20 each and include half a dozen BBQ oysters, a pitcher of beer and all day live music featuring Lenny Blue and Friends. This year the oysters are HUGE and the beer is ice cold so bring your appetite and some friends and hurry on down! The event starts at 1pm and goes till dark-30. We hope to see you here and share in this exciting celebration for a great cause!

Ahoy,
Salmon fishing this week had dropped off considerably from the first few days of the season. Scores of 2’s and 3’s have been leaving local fishermen scratching their heads asking where did they all go? Further north landings have been slightly better, but definitely nothing to write home about. The good news is that Capt. Mark on board the “Bonnie Marietta,” Capt. Nungaray on the “Michael Too,” and Capt. Nailen on “The Seeker,” all continue to land plenty of magnificent King Salmon for us here at Dockside. All three captains agree that the fish are still around and will be ready when they decide to bite again.
The combined efforts of these captains allow us to continue to feature fresh local King Salmon fillets in our Market for $21.95 per pound, or as whole fish for $10.95 per pound. Fresh local King Salmon will also be available this week in our Restaurant throughout the standard menu as well as featured as a variety of tasty daily specials.
Although slightly overshadowed by the Salmon opener, May 1st was also the re-opening of near-shore Rockfish and Lingcod seasons. Rockfish fishing has been off to a slow start, but Lingcod fishing has been a bit better. Landings from Capt. Patchen of the “Kaps,” and Capt. Bigham of the “Big Time,” have made Lingcod available in the Market for $10.95 per pound.
Good ol’ Travis Evans of the “Lucy L,” is still at it and his landings of Starry Flounder and Sand Sole add to our selection of fresh local favorites. Both of these delicate flatfish will be available in the Market as fillets for $9.95 per pound.
Finally, Capt Truong of the “Golden Eagle,” had a strong trip this week fishing Grenadier. This moist, mild and flaky favorite will be available in the Market for $7.95 per pound throughout the weekend. Grenadier will also be featured in the Restaurant as “Fish of the Day” as the weekend approaches.

Ahoy Mates!
May is finally
here and we are ready to steam forward with
our weekly fishing updates! For those of you
who are new to our "Fish-List" postings, welcome
aboard and for those of you who have been with
us, welcome back! We will do our best to post
the weeks fishing news every Thursday until
the end of September. If you know someone who
would like to be added to our “Fish-List,” please
email us or fill out our guest book located
in the Restaurant, and we will add them to the
fun. OK so with that said, get ready to strap
on your rubber boots, squint your eyes to the
brisk and salty sea air as we begin another
season of excitement!
May 1st brought
with it the opening of the California King Salmon
season along with an eager fleet of commercial
boats jockeying for position at the break of
dawn. Capt. Mark on board the “Bonnie Marietta,”
was first in line for the opportunity to land
a few of the silver sided beauties that he had
been dreaming about over the past few months.
As dawn crested and first light broke the answer
to his sleepless nights had arrived…the first
“pumper,” of the season!
Did you know
that when Salmon fishing, the term “pumper,”
is used to describe a freshly hooked King Salmon?
When the fish gets hooked they begin to fight,
tugging on the line and “pumping,” the indicator
spring located high up on the boats fixed poles.
This first pumper of the season, soon lead to
another and another and finally resulted in
a pretty good opening day for Capt. Mark. In
addition to Capt. Mark’s landing, Dockside received
fish from Capt. Nailen of “The Seeker,” and
Capt. Nungaray of the “Michael Too.”
The success
of the these fishermen allow us to feature the
first of the season King Salmon in the Fish
Market for $21.95 per pound or as whole fish
for $10.95 per pound. As always, if you purchase
a whole fish we will be happy to cut it for
you at no additional cost. Fresh local King
Salmon will also be available in the Restaurant
throughout our standard menu as well as featured
in a variety of specials from our head Chef
Joel Lopez.
The weather
is beautiful and the fish are fresh, so come
on by and join us in celebrating the beginning
of the Salmon Season!

with Capt. Mark and the "Bonnie Marietta’s"
Salmon and Albacore fishing seasons. The balance
of the year it is an occasional posting when
something special may be happening………such is
the case with this posting!
Many look
forward to our yearly “Crab-Fest’” here at Dockside,
and many have been asking for the chance to
enjoy a local, fresh, whole Dungeness Crab dinner
or lunch. So what better way to welcome the
New Year than with a “Crab Fest” here at Dockside?
Capt. Arnoldi with crew member/Capt. Ray Richardson
aboard the "Rosalena Marie" have been enjoying
some very successful Dungeness Crab fishing
right here in our local waters. Their hard work
along with steady production will allow us to
offer Fresh, Local Dungeness Crab dinners or
lunches here at Dockside this weekend ... Friday,
Saturday & Sunday, January 11, 12 and 13th for

the usual fixings. Please call for reservations
as this event has become very popular over the
years. (805) 772-8100. We'll be looking forward
to seeing you here.
Along with
the New Year we are excited to introduce an
addition to Dockside. Many of you have already
seen us working on our expansion which is located
to the south of the Restaurant, in the building
that looks like a boat. After a couple of months
of working on the building, we are ready to
open the doors to “Dockside 3” ! It is our version
of a smokehouse, oyster bar, and pub. Our offerings
will include freshly smoked Salmon, Albacore
,Swordfish, Oysters and Scallops ala carte as
well as in wraps, salads, and tacos. In addition
there will be numerous appetizers and lots of
different styles of cooked and raw Oysters,
Clams and Mussels. We will top it off with 50
different beers, 16 of them on draft and an
assortment of local wines. When you get a chance,
drop by and see what we are doing to expand
our offering of what we think is great seafood!
Once again
thank you for your continued patronage and happy
New Years!
