Another Hoctor and Harris hangout was Alfredos, just down the same side of the street, toward the water. Great bartender named Javier is still
around, I hope, last seen working at the cruise ship terminal.
I hope all these facts and figures are correct. Who knows for sure. I hung out at those places too.
I didn't know Fred. Too bad.

Never heard that but, it's not hard to believe given the history of the small area. He would be kin to the miner Goldbaum who was instrumental in
the development of Ensenada and has a museum named for him up-behind Hussongs?

Glad this thread turned from me and Deli boy bashing each other. For the record dave, Most of the lobsters caught there are purchased by productos
oceanos, they have a warehouse right there in El Rincon. They are then shipped all over the world from there.
We looked into renting the red brick place a few years ago and I was told that it was Freds place. I never met the guy so I don't know.
Bernie, please clarify your post.

Dennis, where is your place in relation to that one? Across the street and around the corner to the left?

Bernie,
I didn't know that Silvia was still staying there. I should drop in and say hello if our timing is right. She might like to know that Fred's dog Zorro
is still as naughty as ever.

Hey Minnow, I pull the dentures out to eat lobsters. Those small ones you like I would swallow like an oyster shooter.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Someone spoke of dentures and it reminded me of the last time I saw Fred.................he was b-tching about his dog eating his
partial..............just went really nuts.
Sylvia is normally there around the 4th of July.............if you remember that was when they normally had their fish fry for all of their friends.
Guess she likes the snow in New Mexico and the sun in Baja.
My smidgen of a claim to fame is that I have had so many really good friends. By Bernie Swaim December 2007

That would have probably been Zorro. I remember visiting with Fred on his patio and laughing our butts off picturing Zorro (who was still a small
puppy at the time) with a big wide denture-dog grin...Zorro ate/chewed anything he could get his mouth around. He had a rubber aligator that he drug
along to the memorial at the La Jolla launch ramp, not sure why that aligator lasted as long as it did.
I never made it to one of his 4th of July fish fries. I was always in Bahia and arrived too late, but there was always left over cake on the round
table.
Thanks for sharing Fred memories.
P<*)))>< this fish is a result of e-mail exchanges with Fred. We worked on the different ways to make them and this was the favorite result.

Somebody start a Fred Hoctor thread. He sounds like an interesting character. Wish I'd met him, but it seems as if he's passed.

He was the Baja Editor for Western Outdoor News. Lots has been written about him, and by him. He died a couple of years ago.

I've actually had pretty decent sized lobsters at The Palm(s)(sic) but it wasnt cheap.
And it isnt in Ensenada.
But it is a little closer to the original question than most of this.

Sorry for morphing the thread.
Sally: I was thinking along the same lines as Tom, but wanted to keep my mouth shut. The next time I take my shopping bag to the old, ulgy camper at
the end of the road I don't want to run into a line of Nomads who beat me to the legal sized bugs. Some things are best left to locals.
Bajamigo: Yes, Fred was a character. He used to call me the Sage of the Bay of LA. He passed away in 2001.
