Catalina Offshore has the freshest and best seafood in San Diego.  Their warehouse, located off Morena Blvd, is open to the public during certain hours.  We recommend that anyone who likes great seafood make their way over there.  We promise that once you have bought seafood from Tommy at Catalina Offshore – you will never buy it anywhere else ever again.  Their jumbo scallops are the biggest and best we have ever seen.  They are especially known for their Sea Urchin which is also very fresh.  In addition to these offerings they always have an assortment of locally caught fresh seafood available depending on the season.  The best part is that you can get all this amazing seafood at wholesale prices.

Catalina Offshore buys their fresh seafood directly from reputable fishermen who catch their seafood throughout the pristine waters of Southern California and Baja California. Catalina Offshore Products technicians have trained these fishermen in the strict handling procedures necessary to preserve exceptional freshness and optimum quality. Most fishing is done with hand lines to save the environment and maintain their natural resources. Every boat contains chill tanks to ensure exceptional freshness, and they pick up the fish as it comes to the harbor or beach.  We buy scallops – some times as big as ¼ pound each – as well as fresh fish and ahi tuna from Catalina Offshore on a regular basis.

Advice for Brides Looking for San Diego Catering – Organic Catering

Adam Hiner, co-owner of Ecocaters; which specializes in organic catering, gives a few wise words for those busy brides planning their weddings published in the San Diego News Room website:

“First, figure out, with or without your wedding coordinator’s input, some kind of a budget. With the benefit of a budget your wedding coordinator can help you with every step of the process, including finding a venue, which should be the top priority. When looking for a venue, remember some venues require you to use their catering, some have preferred catering lists and some will let you use any caterer you want.  If you want flexibility with your caterer, use a venue that will allow it.”

In addition to a few practical tips, Adam also includes valuable advice that many stressed out brides may overlook.

“Make sure to implement your own style and creativity in all aspects of your wedding.  If someone else picks everything out for you, it might look nice, but it won’t be a reflection of who you are.  The more involved you are, the better your wedding will be.”

San Diego Catering Company Eco Caters services a Two Day Event

The event started on Saturday with a very lovely ceremony. After guests mingled and chatted a bit they nibbled on San Diego caterer, Eco Caters, special Farmers Market Vegetable Crudite with Bagna Cuda, and Spinach Dip, a Mezze Platter with Hummus Trio, Roasted Red Peppers, Hearts of Palm, Olive Salad and Fresh Pita, Beggars Purse with Cherry Shallot Jam and Camembert, Blue Cheese Bison Sliders with Caramelized Onion and Pomme Fritte, and Seared Albacore with Grapefruit and Orange Slaw.

The party continued with more of San Diego Catering company Eco Caters provided food. They had an Arugula Salad with Feta, Julianne Onions and Pear Vinaigrette, Porter Marinated Tri-Tip with Green Peppercorn Sauce, Local Pacific Fish with Spinach, Mandarin Oil and Black Sesame. All food catered by San Diego Caterer, Eco Caters, is organic and purchased from local farms.

The event continued into Sunday. This wedding party hosted a brunch and Eco Caters were on hand as support staff, making sure it went off without a hitch. A brunch is a great way to bring guest together one more time. If a lot of your guest are traveling, it gives them an activity to do before they go back home, and they feel like they really got to see the bride and groom. We can do anything from a waffle station, to custom omelets and even a smoothie bar!

This couple used sustainable succulents as center pieces, which lasted well after Sunday’s brunch. These center pieces can also make great favors or gifts.
