We've been open for a while now, so we thought we'd throw a party. Or maybe a few.

San Diego has an amazing local craft brewing scene and we're happy to be a part of that with 6 local beers on draft. We've been talking to the experts about doing some beer and seafood pairings and what we've found is that the fishermen think their fish tastes even better paired with an appropriate brew, and the brewers think that seafood provides a great complement to their beers- what luck!

Yesterday, Elena and I participated in a fundraiser for Pro Peninsula, an organization that does environmental work in Baja. This is an organization that we're especially interested in given the amount of fishing done there.

How many of you have seen a farm in person? Probably all of you. How many of you have been on a commercial fishing boat? Probably very few of you. Just like me.

Commercial fishing is invisible.

It's been just over a month since we opened at Sea Rocket, so it's a good time to recap what's been going on for those of you who only subscribe to the newsletter.

What the heck do we think we're doing?

Romolo Ghio caught a 34 pound white sea bass last night near the Coronado Islands off the coast of San Diego. He brought it to us this morning and it will be on the menu tonight and for the next few evenings. See the video at the bottom for Romolo's fishing story!
