Mario's Fish Processing/World Famous Tuna Jerky.

We have served the San Diego Sportfishing community since 1965 and we welcome new customers to enjoy what so many others have discovered.  Mario's Fish Processing offers the finest quality custom fish processing to everyone fishing from the San Diego Sportfishing fleet.

We pick up your fish at the landing and put it in an ice water slush immediately.  We take it to our processing facility and hold it under optimum refrigeration until we process it to meet your needs.  Your tag follows your fish through all of the processing steps, to ensure that the processed fish you receive is the same fish that you caught.  Your fish is labeled with your tag number, species, and date of processing to ensure that you get the kind of individualized service that you should expect.  The bags that we use are the finest quality 3 mill Nylon Poly-Vac bags available.  We cut no corners here and your packages are guaranteed not to leak.  Our blast freezer freezes your finished packages to -15 degrees F in just a couple of hours.  If kept frozen and cared for properly, your packaged fish will be premium quality for at least a year.  We offer processing options other than just filleting and packing.  Mario's Famous Fish Jerky is the standard of fish jerky everywhere.  We are the only facility with a band saw.  We can cut your fish into perfect steaks just to suit your needs.  We also are the only processors to offer free flaked ice for the trip home, not lumpy chunk ice that can damage your fish.

Mario's Fish Processing offers the most efficient quality service in the San Diego area.  We know how much your fish means to you and nobody can beat our quality same day service.  Our 12 person staff is a powerhouse in preparing and packaging your fish for you.  Our crew has been working together for 15 years and have over 67 years of combined fish processing experience.  We can have your processed fish ready and packed in free shaved ice in as little as two hours.  If you want, we can ship to you anywhere in the continental U.S, or you can come back and pick it up Tuesday through Sunday, no appointment necessary.  If you call ahead, we can even arrange to meet you here off hours if that is your need.  You might want to enjoy our restaurant, offering a full seafood menu and a beautiful Mission Bay location while you wait.  We are located directly across from Sea World on Mission Bay, just seven minutes from the San Diego Sportfishing landings. 

Our promise to you:  Your needs are always foremost and our custom service is always top quality.  We've made thousands of friends over the years.  Fish processing is our profession and we take pride in our work.  After four decades in the business we know fish processing better than any of the other companies in the area.

Stick with the original, the most familiar and confident face in the San Diego Sport Fishing industry.

"Mario puts out an outstanding product at a great price. His service is always on time, and he's one of the best guys I know, always ready to go the extra mile for his customers.

He's my friend and has been a reeeeeal joy to do business with for over 20 years.

Sportsman's Seafood has been the leader in fish processing for over 20 years, but Mario has been a fisherman first, for all of his life.  Mario always has time for everyone and is a tremendous asset to our industry.  He's the best, hands down, at what he does and what would the San Diego fleet do without him?  He's a leader in our industry and one hell of a nice guy.

We meet most of the San Diego Long Range boats where they dock Point Loma, Mission Bay and also at private marinas.  Or you can bring your catch to us to process.  Either way, you'll be glad you went with Mario's.
