San Diego’s seafood revolution didn’t happen overnight, and it sure as hell didn’t happen without Peter Halmay. The 83-year-old uni diver and OG of sustainable fishing joins Happy Half Hour to talk about the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market, the bureaucratic battle that made it happen, and why buying seafood straight off the boat is the best way to eat. Every Saturday morning, local fishermen unload fresh catch—no middlemen, no mystery fish, just spot prawns, sea urchin, rockfish, and more, all fresher than anything in your grocery store. Halmay dives into that and San Diego’s fishing history, its future, and why eating local fish twice a week could actually help the planet.
