From San Diego’s fishing history from Kumeyaay and Portuguese tuna fishermen, to today's multicultural palette

Behold! The San Diego Seafood Then & Now cookbook, which offers recipes and stories from our region’s deep connection to fishing. It’s based on interviews with the fishermen of Dockside Market, local historians and the keepers of cultural wisdom from San Diego’s indigenous communities who were forcibly removed from their coastline.
A local chef and historian dreamed up the idea during the pandemic and, years later, turned it into hard copy with support from California Sea Grant, a government-funded research and public education effort dedicated to supporting coastal and marine environments.
The book walks the reader through San Diego’s fishing history from the indigenous tribes of the Kumeyaay and the Portuguese tuna fishermen, to the multicultural palette San Diego offers today.
