California Health and Safety Code § 114378.1

(a) Fish sold in a fishermen’s market shall be raw and may be displayed whole, eviscerated, or packaged by an onsite permitted temporary food facility or permitted food facility. A fisherman selling fish in a fishermen’s market shall only sell raw edible aquatic plants or fish that the fisherman caught legally, or that was caught by one or two other licensed commercial fishermen. If a fisherman sells fish caught by another licensed commercial fisherman, the fisherman shall provide a copy of that other fisherman’s commercial license and contact information upon the request of the enforcement agency. (b) A fishermen’s market may provide a separate service that fillets, cuts, or packages fish for customers who purchase direct sales of fish within the fishermen’s market as a temporary food facility, mobile food facility, fishermen’s market booth, or other facility approved by the enforcement agency. A separate health permit is required and applicable requirements for that category of permit shall be met. (c) Fish parts from the day’s operations may be used for bait by a licensed commercial fisherman or registered aquaculturist. (d) Ice used for refrigeration purposes shall not be used for consumption in food or beverages.
