History

Established in 1995.

During the famous Cannery Row "Steinbeck Era", fish hoppers played an important role on the Monterey Peninsula. The fish hoppers, large square wooden boxes, were anchored off the shores of Cannery Row to receive the fish caught by Monterey's premier fishing fleet. Fishing boat captains guided their overburdened vessels to empty their catches into the fish hoppers floating in the Monterey Bay outside of each cannery. The fish were scooped into the fish hoppers which were connected to the weight scales by a large pipe. After being pumped into the cannery, the fish were weighed and then sent to the processing plants. Today the Fish Hopper Restaurant features prime rib, steak, fresh locally-caught seafood, pasta and a children's menu, with a view of fascinating marine life and beautiful waves crashing over the rocks.
