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.

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 !!  :tup:

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.

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)

Sounds like the tuna price at the cannerys are dropping fast with the amount of fish If a person wants fish I would wait a couple weeks for a better dock price the first fish always cost the most. Tuna are biting good the boys had 256 yesterday.

My niece called from Westport yesterday and gave me a tuna report.  She said the Howard had tuna loins left from last week that were around $3.00 per pound.  They would not have any fresh fish until the 3rd of August.

Wholesale today is at about 2.75/lb, whole gutted, and 5.50/lb for fillets. We're buying in Port Angeles and further out on the North end of the peninsula.

Not sure how long the season is, but I expect next week would be no problem. I'm sure there are places further south. Start Googling.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

It sounds like a good days trip to kick around the docks and get some seafood!

There is a prawn boat on float 9 called the mermaid I will look tomorrow to see if he is in. Also on float 8 down in the charter area there is a float shack called the sea food connection and he has prawns.

I would think the boats on 9 the Brittny may is also prawn fishing. Only a few boats can fish prawns because they had a moritorium on it and only very few boats got a license to fish them.
