Dory Fishing Fleet

Dory Fishing Fleet

The Dory Fishing Fleet is a beachside fishing cooperative located in the city of Newport Beach, California. It was founded in 1891 at the base of what was then McFadden Wharf, now known as the Newport Pier. It is considered the last beachside cooperative of its kind in the United States.

The day's fresh catch is hauled onto shore every morning around 9:00 AM and gourmet restaurants, shops and private citizens arrive to purchase the bounty.
