A shoutout to Jason, Teresa, and Marco for excellent customer service and going above & beyond to help with my special request. In addition, my fish was expertly processed with the care that I had not received from other processors. The attention to details is greatly appreciated. Five Star team, you are the best!

Very easy process - professional, clean & fast- will definitely use them again. Just wanted to add that 5 star was well worth it & fillets came out beautiful- from freezer to grill to dinner plate- effortless!- i was a lil worried because it was my first time trying them but i got my fish back in prime condition & in 1 day ! Thankyou!
Used 5 star again- still happy ?

They did a great job taking care the fish i had them process. I stayed an extra night in San Diego and chose the option they had for packaging for a flight out and the job they did packaging it was awesome. They had it fully frozen the next day I picked it up and boxed a Styrofoam container and then boxed to protect it from damage. They even covered the corners with tape which is a weak point on boxes traveling through the airports.

My only gripe might be their hours as if my flight was an early morning or a late flight I might have had to request they ship it but it'd be unfair to have them employ someone just for that issue alone.

These folks do a phenomenal job with your fish and same day pickup only takes a couple of hours. All cut and packaged while your having breakfast. If you can't wait you can pick it up at your leisure or have them ship it.

I just spent over $1,600 to have my fish processed and I did not get what I asked for. If you value your fish do not use this company. I requested one and 2 pound packages with only a few 2 lb. packages because there are only 2 of us in my household when I was going to give away the 2 pound packages to our friends who have bigger families. Not only did I not get even one, 1 pound package, all of the packages were over two and a half pounds with several being 3 and a half pounds. What am I supposed to do now when I go thaw out and open a package I use half of the package or less and the rest is going to have to be either given away at that moment, or thrown out. I went inside and told the lady who took the order at the pier we have a problem I told you when you took my order I wanted only a few 2 pound packages and the rest 1 pound packages what do I do now? She looked at me like she didn't understand (which she didn't seem like she understood english very well at the pier) now seeing and hearing her in the office I could see she doesn't understand very well. I turned to the other lady and said what do I do? I have too large of packages for me to use. In my house we are only 2 people and she just looked me and walked into the office when she realised what a huge mistake this young girl did. I had over 850 pounds of fish to process. I had to stay overnight in a hotel to wait for my fish to be processed and frozen because I had an 8 and a half hour drive to get home and needed it frozen to make that long of a trip. I looked around the room and everyone that was within hearing distance all of a sudden had leave the area and there was no one to speak to except the girl that couldn't speak very good english. Since I had already paid for everything no one was willing to fix the situation and the girl had no idea what to do. I explained to her where she made the mistake and she showed me on the paperwork where she took the weight of the fish and it was marked 2 pound packages I tried to explain to her just because you wrote it down incorrectly because you didn't understand what I said, thinking you did understand, it's not my fault. Her response was "it says two pound packages here." I go fishing out of point loma 2 or 3 times a year and have yet to come back with less than 500 pounds of fish to process. I even used this place last October and I asked then only for 1 pound packages and ended up getting over a third of my fish in two pounds or more size packages. I thought I would give them another chance. What a huge mistake. Never again will I use this company and will tell everyone I fish with to not use them. Not only did they mess up and not offer to fix it, they are the most expensive of the processing companies available.

I made a reservation ahead of time, and they still could not do same day processing even though they did for every other person on the boat. They took 4 days to process my fish even though I had a reservation. They were also fairly rude to me at the docks. Then when I called 4 days later (they never called me) and asked them how much longer, they told me that it was all processed and FROZEN. I never asked them to freeze my fish. All that good tuna, and no fresh meat. I will NEVER use them again.
