Fish Emeryville operates out of 3310 Powell Street, at the end of the Emeryville Marina peninsula, and is the Bay's largest multi-boat sportfishing landing. Owner Craig Stone — identified as the owner of Emeryville Sportfishing Center in coverage of the 2010 salmon closure — ran the operation under its earlier "Emeryville Sportfishing" name before the rebrand to Fish Emeryville. Target species across the fleet, in the landing's own words: "King Salmon, California Halibut, Striped Bass, Rockfish, Lingcod, and Dungeness Crab."
