Gracie Fish — the fleet

Three boats.
Four fishermen.
No assembly line.

§ 06Why it matters

Rare by Nature.

Our micro-fleet lands one fish at a time using highly selective handgear—minimizing bycatch and contact with the seafloor.

We fish only when species, season, stock and regulations align with current Seafood Watch and California guidance. Every catch is handled and iced on deck, then traced by species, vessel, gear and landing time.

There are easier ways to catch more. We choose to catch better.
