He supplies restaurants from Isla and Crudo e Nudo in Santa Monica to Loquita in Santa Barbara, Industrial Eats in Buellton, Mattei’s Tavern in Los Olivos, Full of Life Flatbread in Los Alamos and several in Paso Robles.  His halibut, sea bass, and bluefin tuna are the stuff of legend in an increasingly competitive world of commercial fishing.   “Travis has connected us directly to the pristine marine life that surrounds the Channel Islands,” Jason Paluska, executive chef of  The Lark in Santa Barbara tells L.A.

It was hands down the freshest and cleanest bite of raw fish that I had ever tasted.” That all changed about a week ago on a midnight run to Hollister Ranch, when Meyer ...
