T & M Seafood in Chula Vista has operated as a retail and wholesale seafood market at 600 F Street since the business was founded in 1990, making it one of the longest-running independent fish purveyors in the Third Avenue Village area of downtown Chula Vista. The wholesale division holds USDOT #3190575 with an FMCSA-registered box-truck fleet for intrastate distribution, moving fresh whole fish and portioned filets to restaurant kitchens across the South Bay — a bulk-supply operation serving the same raw-seafood sourcing standards that define the Chula Vista sushi corridor at destinations including Sushi House. The retail counter stocks fresh catfish, calamari steaks, shrimp, and frozen Japanese scallops alongside a made-to-order poke program, with fresh Pacific and Kumamoto oyster deliveries arriving every Thursday for the weekly rotation. All product moves through the market without pre-packaging or extended freezer storage, following a day-boat sourcing model from regional fisheries that keeps the display case turning over with whole fish and custom-cut filets for the Chula Vista restaurants and Chula Vista seafood search crowd. Bulk wholesale orders of shrimp, calamari, and portioned filets move through the F Street loading dock to restaurant and event-kitchen accounts, feeding into the same South Bay catered-seafood pipeline that Baja Tacos & Gourmet Catering draws from for its taco-service program. The fresh oyster program shucks Pacific and Kumamoto varieties to order using a hinged-knife entry at the shell's hinge point, preserving the adductor muscle and preventing grit transfer into the liquor — a hand-shucking technique that maintains brine integrity across the full dozen in each Thursday delivery batch.
