Cook Your Own
If you’re camping or staying at a vacation rental with a kitchen, head to Crescent Seafood’s fresh fish market, located within the Crescent City Harbor District. You can pick up everything from salmon to tiger prawns to calamari steaks and albacore tuna. They also have a seafood deli restaurant where you can enjoy lunch at the Crescent City harbor and marina with a variety of dishes, including big sandwiches and salads — try the Baja fish tacos or the garlic lemon scallops. This seafood market is owned and operated by a retired commercial fisherman.
Catch Your Own

Salmon runs to the Smith and Klamath Rivers make Del Norte County a salmon fishing mecca for Kings and coho. Stop in at Paul’s Famous Smoked Salmon Jerky (open seasonally) to purchase smoked salmon for your on-the-go adventures in Del Norte County.
