Port Orford Sustainable Seafood began with a few local fishers and a big idea. Today, we connect small-boat harvesters with customers who care about sustainable, traceable seafood.
Port Orford Sustainable Seafood began in 2009 when local fishers united to keep more of their catch in their own hands and bring it directly to people who care about its source. Packing each order by hand and delivering it themselves, they built a business from the ground up. That spirit remains today, with every fish caught by someone we know and trust.
We use hook and line gear to catch fish one at a time, reducing waste and protecting sensitive ocean habitats. Our small crane-launched boats naturally limit environmental impact. By keeping processing local, we ensure the value stays in our community and the seafood reaches you fresh and clean.
From labeling each package with the name of the fisher to answering your questions directly, we believe in staying connected. Growth has not changed our small-boat approach or our commitment to sustainability, which means supporting healthy fisheries, strong communities, and a better food system.
From cooking tips to sustainability stories, our blog dives deeper into the people, places, and practices behind your seafood.
Before sunrise, Port Orford’s boats are already headed out to sea. Get a glimpse into the rhythm, skill, and heart that go into every catch you bring home.
The Galley is a true ocean-to-table experience. Fresh, local, and deeply rooted in our coastal community.
Remember, all our seafood is sashimi grade, which means that it is safe to eat without cooking at all. For your enjoyment, please take care to not overcook your portions.
When you join our community, you’re doing more than buying great seafood. You’re standing with small-town fishers, choosing real food over shortcuts, and helping protect a way of life that values the ocean and those who work on it. Every order supports a future where seafood is sustainable, traceable, and personal. Together, let’s build a better food system from the dock up.
