His family-operated market prides itself on a fun, friendly neighborhood atmosphere; Oswalt himself will often don a crab suit to become the B.F.C (big fat crab), scuttling through town come nightfall to give dreams to children. In addition to warm customer service, Gemini focuses on best-catch methods, monitoring the Marine Stewardship Council and the Monterey Bay Aquarium for the best places to source products.

About Gemini Fish Market
Kim and Jim Oswalt opened Gemini Fish Market to bring the finest fresh, frozen, and live fish and seafood to the tables of their neighbors. At a young age Jim was working in multiple segments of the seafood industry, ranging from commercial smoking to large-scale processing. His lifetime passion for seafood has afforded Gemini Fish Market certain connections, allowing them to procure fresh modern delicacies such as North Atlantic sea scallops, Maine lobster, and premium Hawaiian exotics such as hand-line caught swordfish. They have also enlisted the help of chef Dave Gipson to create specialties such as crab cakes, salmon burgers, and fresh dips and spreads.
Kim and Jim also focus on superior quality, sustainable fisheries, and best-catch methods, which they believe lead to healthier oceans and healthier customers. The passionate pair fills their website with free seafood facts and cooking and preparation tips, as well as recipes such as sea scallops over wilted spinach and Chef Dave’s fish tacos.
