Before the crack of dawn on most days that they’re open — Wednesday through Saturday — Tommy Gomes and his TunaVille crew are on the docks outside their shop on Driscoll’s Wharf, meeting commercial fishing boat captains ready to offload their latest seasonal catch.TunaVille Market and Grocery
The two have partnered with Conniff’s wife, Nancy, and four other local commercial fishing families — Cameron and Paris Cribben, Brian and Vila Kiyohara, Randy and Tracy Toussaint and John and Juliet Conniff — to fulfill their dream of creating a showcase promoting San Diego’s finest seafood while celebrating the fishermen and their heritage.
He’s determined to connect the community with the fishermen who actually catch the fish to help protect the San Diego fishing tradition rooted in Point Loma. Conniff, 47, comes from a family of recreational fishermen. After cooking his way through college, he spent seven years as a chef aboard a 90-foot sportfisher, leading to a “land” job as a banquet chef at Hotel Solamar’s Jsix Restaurant. He opened his own casual seafood restaurant, now Mitch’s Seafood, in November 2008.“I gravitated toward local commercial fishermen once I opened the restaurant,” Conniff explained.
With California spiny lobster season in full swing now through mid-March, expect also to find the beloved locally caught crustaceans for sale when available.
