Central Coast fishermen are selling their catch of the day after the Dungeness crab season was delayed for weeks.
Local commercial fisherman and the Port San Luis Harbor District have created a Fisherman s Market Pilot Program, located in Port San Luis for fisherman to sell their fresh catch directly off the boat to the public. We got a halibut, it was about nine pounds and two Dungeness crab. We will have quite the feast, Arroyo Grande resident Toni Aelly said.
San Luis Obispo residents, Corrie Arellano and Javon Mejls, also scored a catch from Sunday s fish market.

One holiday tradition that will have to be postponed this year for most is Dungeness crab.
A delay in opening crab season and now a pricing dispute between fishermen and buyers means that crab boats won t be heading out to sea.
According to the California Department of Fish Wildlife, Dungeness crab season is now open but customers may not be seeing them in stores this Christmas and potentially into the new year.
Commercial fisherman Tom Capen in Avila Beach is working on his equipment instead of heading out on the water for the opening of crab season this year.
