What happened
Sportsmen’s Seafood, a San Diego staple, originated from a Sicilian immigrant’s family. The founder’s grandfather, who grew up as a fisherman in Sicily, arrived in San Diego in the 1950s intending to build a cannery. He personally dredged Mission Bay using his own funds to allow tuna boats access for the operation.
