The crew of the Royal Polaris takes great pride in making sure your catch arrives at Fisherman’s Landing in pristine condition. A layer of ½ inch rubber matting has been laid on the entire aft deck from the end of the cabin to the stern. This eliminates any damage to your fish when it is laid on the deck. The fish is quickly spiked and bled. In addition larger fish are gilled and gutted to promote faster cooling. If you choose, your catch will go directly into refrigerated salt water (RSW) to ensure maximum freshness. With this process, your catch will arrive at the dock in a sashimi grade condition.

If you're having same-day service, relax in our lobby, view the gallery of artwork by renowned photographer William Boyce, watch a movie or use our Wi-Fi. Watch your fish being processed. Our goal is to exceed all your expectations of fish processing.

Why Fisherman's Processing?
By offering this new fish processing option to anglers, it is our belief that the overall service for returning anglers will significantly improve. Shorter wait durations for same day customers, a state of the art facility conveniently located in Liberty Station, 1.2 miles from the sport fishing landings, and expert administration from individuals who have invested their lives in the San Diego sport fishing industry will deliver a professional experience that customers expect. We believe that all San Diego sport fishing customers, and the vessels that carry them, will benefit from the addition of "Fisherman's Processing".

A Team You Can Trust -
A new partnership between Frank Lo Preste, Sean Sebring, Tim Ekstrom and Randy Toussaint has formed to bring additional fish processing capacity to the San Diego Sport Fishing community. With over 125 years of combined fishing and processing experience, the new venue - "Fisherman's Processing", will feature full filleting and smoking services, will be available to all returning long range and multi day vessels, and includes dock side service for private and charter fishing vessels. Sean Sebring will be the managing partner with oversight and assistance from Frank, Tim, and Randy.
