About the Ramen (from Shiba Ramen website)

Ramen the way it’s supposed be. Easy. Casual. Delicious.

In Japan, ramen is comfort food.  It’s what you eat when you’re looking for a completely satisfying, but casual experience.  You pay in advance, so when you’re finished, you get up and leave.  You don’t break the bank, it isn’t a production, and it tastes great.

Shiba Ramen believes in the Japanese ramen experience.  We offer a streamlined, ramen-focused menu, complemented by a handful of tasty sides.  Cold beer is on tap, as it should be.  We feature rotating draft Bay Area craft beers, and a curated collection of Japanese craft beer and sake.

Come visit us in Emeryville Public Market.  We’re part of an exciting redevelopment project that’s in the process of putting nearly twenty diverse, international food concepts under a single roof, creating a dining center of gravity at the commercial intersection of Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco.

Ending the year on a fish-full note, Emeryville Sportfishing sent out 80 anglers in three boats on New Year’s Eve day. The catch: 750 Rockfish and 144 Lingcod.  Dungeness Crab enthusiasts are still awaiting the opening of crab season in the San Francisco Bay area.

Details from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Fish and Game Commission follow. Areas still closed to crab fishing include:
Commercial Dungeness crab fishery statewide;
Recreational Dungeness crab fishery north of 35° 40′ N Latitude (Piedras Blancas Light Station);
Commercial and recreational rock crab fisheries North of 35° 40′ N Latitude (Piedras Blancas Light Station); and
Commercial and recreational rock crab fisheries in state waters around San Miguel, Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands.

They did lift the ban for Dungeness below 35° 40′ N Latitude (Piedras Blancas Light Station), but despite several weeks of samples below alert levels, the CDPH (California Department of Public Health) and OEHHA (Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment ) still recommend that consumers not eat the viscera (internal organs, also known as “butter” or “guts”) of crabs. They are also recommending that water or broth used to cook whole crabs be discarded and not used to prepare dishes such as sauces, broths, soups or stews.  This precaution is being recommended to avoid harm in the unlikely event that some crabs taken from an open fishery have elevated levels of domoic acid. Stay tuned for the Dungeness crab season update.

Fishing Report 12.6.15

dungeness crabThe California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) updated recreational and Commercial Dungeness Crab fishers on Dec. 1: crab fisheries continue to remain closed due to continued high levels of the neurotoxin domoic acid found in crab samples from California ports. The CDFW updated their website results for domoic acid sampling as of Dec. 3, 2015 with no change in results.

A few stats:

Emeryville Sportfishing’s annual catch for 2015 is 264 Dungeness crab compared with 2014’s catch of 16,420 (i.6%) and 2013’s catch of 19,017 (1.4%).

Emeryville Sportfishing sent out 36 Anglers in three boats on Dec. 5 and brought back a catch of 360 Rockfish, and 47 Lingcod. Their total catch for the month of Nov.: 1,288 Lingcod, 7,985 Rockfish, 543 Pacific Macerel, 1,475 Sandab, 8 Pacific Bonito and 5 Cabezon. That’s a lot of fish for recreational fishermen, though sadly lacking any Dungeness crab.

Emeryville Sportfishing is located in the Emeryville Marina at 3310 Powell Street in Emeryville, CA off Highway 80.  For printable driving directions from your location to Emeryville Sportfishing follow this link. You can reserve a boat now at 510-654-6040.
