Tuna for sale at Westport yet???

[Scottystyle]

Heading to Westport weekend after Memorial day and was wondering if they are selling tuna off the docks or if its too early? any info would rock! 

[RadSav]

I'm betting it's too early.  In Oregon we did't usually see any until at least the 4th of July.  I'm assuming Westport would be much the same.

Hey guys, when it is in....what kind of average price are you paying for it?

Whenever it happens would you mind posting a sort of tutorial for dummies, I think fresh canned tuna is so much better then the store bought stuff and you always have the best easiest ways to get it done, I never canned anything before but would love to give it a try !!

Boats usually start fishing for tuna the first week in July. Saw crabs and Prawns for sale at the dock today.

Thanks CP!

Definitely too early for fresh tuna, as others have said start looking in early July, prices will be higher then though I'd wait until August for a good price.

Thanks for the info, now I dont have to panic about $$$ this trip.  I might have to hit up the prawn boats though, do you know which float by any chance and what the damage is? Thanks again!

[buckhorn2]

I saw they were for sale on float 9 but don;t now how much.

As soon as they start coming in large quantities let us know I would be willing to drive over for a couple coolers full.

Any word yet?

The whole fleet is out tuna fishing most ran down off the columbia but they will be selling off the docks this week end. Kids left last night and called a while ago and had 75 fish this morning already. The prawn boats on float 9 are out and will be in this week-end they said. I don;t know the price.

We got an e-mail from The Seafood Connection, and he's selling tuna for $2.59 per pound and it you want him to clean them its $3.00 per fish. 

We're looking to get some this year, along with the sea bass, ling cod,  crab and salmon this year (I hope)
