About

Since the mid-1950s, the Busalacchi family has operated Sportsmen’s Seafoods at 1617 Quivira Road in San Diego, 92109, carrying on a tradition that began when Grandfather Busalacchi emigrated from Italy. Now two generations deep, the waterfront business combines a casual restaurant, a retail fish market, and a full fish-processing operation under one roof along the Quivira Basin. The restaurant menu runs on homemade family recipes prepared with cholesterol-free oil — regulars come back for the fish and chips, clam chowder, and live urchin, and the market next door sells fresh fish, shellfish, and smoked seafood to take home. The in-house World Famous Tuna Jerky Co. produces its own tuna jerky using family-guarded marinades and smoking techniques that have served sport fishermen from Fisherman’s Landing, Point Loma Sportfishing, and H&M Landing for decades. The Fishery on Cass Street serves as another neighborhood option for those seeking fresh seafood bought and cooked the same day. Manager Daniela S. oversees daily operations and maintains the restaurant’s 92 out of 100 health score from the San Diego County Health Department. The outdoor seating offers some of the most scenic waterfront views on San Diego’s west coast, and the market will cook any fish customers purchase on site. Visitors exploring the marina area can continue to JRDN Restaurant for upscale waterfront dining along the beach.
