Caldo de Siete Mares

Caldo de Siete Mares means “soup of the seven seas,” and comes with a wide variety of different seafoods. We made a version with some unique all-local seafoods sourced from San Diego commercial fishing families, including Kellet’s Whelk (a marine snail), Sea Cucumber, and local rockfish.

Rockfish Pot Pie

Many different species of rockfish are caught by San Diego commercial fishermen. They are universally mild and flaky, with some slight textural differences between species. Rockfish are frequently described as one of our most versatile fish! This easy-as-pie recipe uses skin-off rockfish fillets together with golden, flaky puff pastry crust to capture the comforting, homey tastes and textures of your favorite pot pie.
