Seasonality Guide
What's in Season Now
When you shop for seafood at a grocery store or supermarket, ask for locally-caught seafood that is in season. This encourages fish buyers to source from Monterey Bay fishermen and strengthens our local food system as a whole. Check out our seasonality chart below to help understand what time of year certain species are typically landed. Please note the disclaimer that this information is subject to regulatory changes each year.
*Disclaimer: regulatory changes and season closures may occur with certain species year-to-year. See CDFW’s commercial fisheries page for updated information
