Fish Storage & Processing

Reserve Processing Now

The 21st century of long-range fishing is here, and The Red Rooster III offers professional, premium fish handling and Refrigerated Sea Water (RSW) storage.

Using technology common in commercial fishing, we ensure your catch is handled with the utmost care, delivering sashimi-grade fish every time. Whether it’s bluefin, yellowfin, bigeye tuna, albacore, wahoo, yellowtail, or dorado, Red Rooster III guarantees your fish arrives in top-quality condition.

Once your catch is on board, out superior refrigeration system custom designed to specialize in rapid chilling of your catch. Whether frozen or fresh, optimum temperatures are quickly achieved and maintained ensuring the highest quality product available upon your voyage's return.

For those returning with fresh product, we offer same-day fillet service in partnership with Fisherman's Processing, conveniently located just 1.2 miles from Pt. Loma's landings. Your fish is placed in insulated totes with seawater and ice and professionally processed within hours. Various processing options are available, allowing anglers to pick up their premium, fresh product right after the trip.
Our Fisherman's Processing plant is a state-of-the-art facility offering full filleting, canning, and smoking services. This modern, accredited facility provides same-day custom butchering and packaging of your catch, continuing the exceptional service you experience on board. Located in the scenic Liberty Station area, the facility is surrounded by waterfront parks, shops, and restaurants, making it a convenient stop for anglers after their trip.
We recognized the need for faster service and reduced dockside congestion on busy days. Fisherman's Processing addresses this by providing quick, high-quality processing, ensuring anglers can complete their processing orders directly on board Red Rooster III before returning to port. No more waiting in lines or managing carts—your catch is efficiently transferred to Fisherman’s Processing for cleaning and packaging.
Additionally, Fisherman’s Processing offers dockside service for private boaters, with a small pier next to the facility for easy drop-offs and pick-ups. This convenient service allows anglers to offload their catch without extra hassle, then pick up their custom-processed product later, whether they’re at the dock or en route home.
With over 25 years of experience in sport fishing, Fisherman's Processing will exceed expectations, offering the high-quality, customer-focused service that anglers expect. Together with Randy Toussaint and myself, we are committed to providing a fish processing experience that stands out for its quality and efficiency.
Since opening in May 2010, Fisherman's Processing has set the standard for service and convenience in San Diego. We look forward to seeing you on Red Rooster III or around the docks this season.
