“Drydock Fish Company”
The owner of Drydock Fish Company, Mark Lewis, was born in Marseille, France. He grew up in Casablanca, Morrocco where he and his friends would enjoy fishing the rivers. Mark came to the United States in 1968. He chose to build a fish business because he wanted to provide people with an outstanding selection of fresh fish, which he found was hard to come by. Drydock Fish has been a family operated company since 1986 when it first opened.
Mark enjoys seeing returning customers who share with him their ‘FISH STORIES’. He is known for being an extraordinary chef during markets, providing samples to his apprieciative customers.
Drydock Fish Company provides the freshest fish to a wide variety of gourmet restaurants between Los Angeles and San Diego, and supply 13 farmer’s markets per week in the Southern California area.
Mark does not have a set schedule of work hours at the plant. “I’m not done until everything is done!”, says Mark. He has no plans to retire anytime soon, and when he does, his son will still be working as the Manager of Drydock Fish. Marks future plans for Drydock are to continue selling fresh fish and expand the company so that they can go to more markets throughout California. He also plans on moving his company from Fullerton down to San Diego.
Heading up many of the Farmers Markets in Southern California is Stefan. Stefan always has great tips on how to prepare the fish and he has a wide berth of knowledge on all things fish. Come stop by and say hello to Stefan at the following markets:
