Santa Cruz Salmon

Welcome to Santa Cruz Salmon, a local commercial fishing collective founded by friends and fishermen Joshua Mezman and Dustin Haynes. Based right here in the heart of the Monterey Bay, our mission is simple: to connect our community with the freshest, most sustainably harvested seafood available. We believe that knowing your fisherman is just as important as knowing your farmer, which is why we are dedicated to bringing our catch directly from our vessel to your table.

As proud participants in the local sustainable seafood movement, we specialize in catching premium, wild-caught salmon in Santa Cruz and the surrounding coastal waters. With our vessel fully prepped for the season, we utilize responsible harvesting methods that protect our ocean's delicate ecosystems while ensuring the highest quality catch. Every fish we bring ashore represents our deep respect for the ocean and our commitment to preserving local fishing traditions for the future.

Whether you're a lifelong local or just visiting the coast, Santa Cruz Salmon offers an authentic sea-to-table experience. By supporting our small, independently owned operation, you aren't just getting incredible, fresh salmon—you are investing in the health of the Monterey Bay and the livelihood of local fishing families. We are thrilled to share our passion for the ocean with the LocalHarvest community and look forward to feeding yours.
