Thanks, everyone! I'll keep it all in mind and let you know what I end up doing. To clarify, I was considering an AC (as opposed to DC) holding plate refrigeration system if it's going to run off shore power anyway. No need for air conditioning here in SF, thankfully. In terms of just using ice

Welcome to the group. You seem to be considering your options wisely. Systems relying on shorepower seem to be the most common way to go. You could probably run refrigeration off of batteries, but AC needs more amps to start the compressor and lying at anchor will eventually require a good sized
