Tuna Harbor Dockside Market will be hosting the Second Annual Lobsterfest October 10, 2021 from 8-1 PM (or until sold out).
We would love for you to join us on the day of, or cover the event leading up to it. Lobsterfest last year consisted of 1492 lbs of California Spiny Lobster being sold by 10 local fishermen in 2 hours and 45 mins. 896 San Diegans showed up and 150 meals were sold.
This year we will have 7-10 local fishermen selling spiny lobster on the pier from 8-1 or until sold out, Craft Meals from Chef Phillip Esteban will be selling lobster meals on the dock during the event. You may recognize this prolific and passionate culinary entrepreneur from “Chopped” on the Food Network. He heads projects such as Fish to Families, Weapon Ramen, White Rice, and Craft Meals Catering. In July 2020, Chef Phillip competed on and subsequently won the Chopped episode, "Jarring Jars." Chef Phillip utilizes fish in his kitchens, learning how to mix flavors and different cuts from the fish
Spiny lobsters differ from their cousins on the East Coast most obviously because of their lack of claws, and known for having sweeter meat. They are most commonly indulged for the meat in their tails but can also be grilled split and whole on the grill.
