### 4/5 — Fresh Salmon

*2019-08-12, version 6.0.0*

This is by far the very best way to buy fresh salmon and at a reasonable price!

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2015-03-07, version 3.0.0*

Use it all the time to find local fish, great way to get what I need fast!

### 5/5 — Great way to promote and support local fishermen

*2014-10-16, version 2.16.0*

Fishline is the best! I live in the central coast and I now know where to buy the best local sustainable seafood around. Download this app now!

### 5/5 — Find fresh local seafood

*2014-10-14, version 2.16.0*

On your phone!

### 5/5 — Retired

*2014-04-08, version 2.12.0*

Great app. I live close to the coast so this app is essential to finding the best seafood. It's also handy finding local shops with unique fare.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2014-01-19, version 2.09.0*

Use it weekly to find fresh seafood in Princeton Harbor.

### 5/5 — My Go To for seafood in Half Moon Bay

*2013-12-20, version 2.08.0*

This is my go to app in half moon bay for seafood.

### 5/5 — Best way to find freshest seafood from local sources

*2013-12-20, version 2.08.0*

Designed to connect consumers with fresh seafood provided by local fishermen!

### 5/5 — Fresh fish and crab off the boats!

*2013-12-05, version 2.08.0*

Fresh crab for our tailgate party at Stanford Stadium. Who knew there was an amazing database of fresh fish and crab for foodies like me? Now we can locate the best catch of the day and still enjoy the game. Half Moon Bay is so close to campus and the quality of the FishLine app saves time and money.  The app is intuitive and includes weather, market prices, ports, and markets for all Fresh seafood lovers.  Very well done and fast.

### 4/5 — Good to see this app being used!

*2013-03-24, version 1.00*

We love buying fish fresh from the fisherman in Mexico. Now we can do it when we're on the coast here in CA. Thanks for linking us directly with the providers. Also for highlighting restaurants that use fresh catch from local fishermen. My dad would approve!

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-01-22, version 7.6.3*

It launches and its still listed on the app store (since im writing this) but it no longer functions perhaps due to an ios update to 26

### 1/5 — Garbage!

*2025-02-12, version 7.6.3*

This app is absolutely useless in helping you find the boats that sell crab!!! Stick to crabs because y’all don’t know jack about apps and technology!!!

### 1/5 — FUBAR

*2021-02-27, version 7.2.1*

No consumers in Hawaii, camera don’t work. Whee Ed n I put WA zip code it has California to Boston! LMK if u get it working? Geoffrey’s

### 1/5 — Useless App for Rhode Island Fresh Seafood

*2021-01-05, version 7.2.1*

I was looking for an alternative fresh seafood delivery service in Rhode Island. I currently use a service and was looking for more variety. This app failed to identify a single source of fresh seafood in Rhode Island. A google search yields several sources of RI fresh seafood. Improve the app to help hard working RI fishermen!

### 1/5 — Waste of time.

*2020-09-09, version 7.1.6*

Like Everything else in California. Single purpose built app for California only. Worthless to EVERYONE ELSE in the nation.  Complete wast of time. GARBAGE.

### 1/5 — California only?

*2020-06-14, version 7.0.5*

Looks like a great app, but it also looks like my nearest market is in California....kinda worthless unless you live in Cali.

### 2/5 — Impossible to use

*2014-10-02, version 2.16.0*

Very bad design and impossible to use.  Two stars for the great idea.

### 2/5 — Only CA

*2014-03-31, version 2.12.0*

Looks great; wish it worked in New York. So far only fisheries in CA listed.

### 3/5 — Only useful in certain locales

*2021-11-23, version 7.2.1*

I see all the reviews complaining that this app only works in California. I’m in California no less and everytime I input my zip code it tells me there’s nothing around but 500+ miles north of me which I know for a fact is not the case — fresh fish are sold off the boat literally 12 miles west of me every week.

This would be a great app if it worked properly.

### 4/5 — FishLine

*2021-05-25, version 7.2.1*

Great app 
Needs better coverage for the Santa Cruz harbor.

### 5/5 — Albacore

*2021-12-16, version 7.2.1*

I love this app!  Easy to use and accurate.  I love to can albacore, and this helps me to find the boats when it is in season.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Why go anywhere else?!?

*2021-02-14, version 7.2.1*

Excellent app. Time to include my fishing friends in Sausalito and Bolinas.

### 5/5 — Best fish buying app

*2020-12-28, version 7.2.1*

This is the best Bay Area fish buying app, live crab, fresh halibut and all boats right from the docks to the table. Awesome if you love fish. Easy to who has the best prices and incoming catches.

### 5/5 — Fish line

*2020-09-07, version 7.1.6*

Very useful AP.   Helps everyone, with the sharing info on what fish are available and where.  A win, win for all.....

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍👍

*2020-08-11, version 7.1.5*

FishLine is so easy to use and has been a game changer for me finding locally caught seafood near me. I love connecting with my local fishermen and buying the freshest local seafood!

### 5/5 — Who knew fresh seafood was so close

*2020-01-19, version 7.0.5*

I will never buy seafood at a store ever again! We’ve made multiple trips to Half Moon Bay for Dungeness crab. Support your local fishermen and fisherwomen.

### 5/5 — Excellent way to eat local

*2019-06-02, version 6.0.0*

This is an easy way to bypass all the middle men and get straight to the source of fresh seafood.  The iPad app makes great use of the extra screen space

### 5/5 — Viva FishLine!

*2019-05-28, version 6.0.0*

Best free way to find local seafood!  Tell your local fisherman about it!

### 5/5 — Love this - I use it all the time

*2017-02-02, version 5.0.0*

It's great - I can see who's selling fish or crab from the boats, without driving all the way to the harbor!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2015-03-19, version 3.0.0*

I love using the tides, weather, and recipes regularly. It is also great to learn more about my local fishermen. Thanks for making it easier to be a locavore!
