Honoring the Hands Behind the Harvest

Beyond the restaurants and markets lies the backbone of Ventura’s seafood story — its commercial fishing community. Ventura Harbor is proud to be one of the largest squid offload locations on the California coast, ranking among the state’s top harbors for total catch and landing value.

Fisheries like Silver Bay Seafoods, Del Mar Seafoods / Ocean Angel Brand, and J. DeLuca Fish Company are vital to the region’s economy and identity, supplying both local kitchens and global markets. The Ventura Port District remains committed to supporting these hardworking crews and the infrastructure that keeps this tradition thriving.
