Costarella keeps an eye on the bay, but he's not drinking in the postcard views of Telegraph and Russian hills, Alcatraz or the blue hills of North Bay behind it. Instead, he gauges tide levels, notes wind direction, watches the chop of the waves. It's a lesson learned from an old Sicilian fisherman who told him the ocean is like a book. "You can open it up, but you have to know how to read it,'' Costarella recalls. "The ocean will give up a lot of information if you know how to read it." The San Francisco fishing industry emerged in the 1850's with the expanding population of Italian immigrants. Traditionally, Italians fished from Mediterranean style sailing feluccas in the open sea fishing grounds that ranged from Point Reyes to Monterey. Many of these Italian family names are still represented at Fisherman's wharf, where the bounty of the waters outside the golden gate is brought ashore for all to enjoy. The company at Costarella Seafoods are passionate about fishing! The company brings the company's customers the finest seafood the company's years of experience can offer.Read More
