Why This Matters
Sustainability
Discover how our hook-and-line fishing, local processing, and direct delivery model work together to protect Oregon’s coast and support responsible seafood harvesting.
Wild-Caught, Responsibly Harvested
Small Boats, Big Impact
At Port Orford Sustainable Seafood, sustainability is our everyday practice. Our small, crane-launched boats fish close to shore, minimizing impact and ensuring freshness. Using hook and line methods, we catch one fish at a time to protect marine habitats and reduce bycatch. Each catch is iced immediately and processed locally, keeping quality high and value in our Oregon coast community.
Protecting Oceans and Habitats
Fishing for the Future
From kelp forests to rocky reefs, Oregon’s waters sustain life along our coast. We follow strict harvest guidelines, fish year-round with the seasons, and work with scientists to protect ecosystem balance. Our traceable seafood system shows who caught your fish, where, and how, giving you a direct connection to the people behind every catch.
Supporting Coastal Communities
Stronger Together
Joining our Community Supported Fishery connects you to small-town fishers and keeps more dollars local. Our direct-to-member model shortens the supply chain, reduces transportation emissions, and ensures fair pay. Each order supports a rare tradition of small-boat fishing on the Oregon coast while helping protect it for the next generation.

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.
Make a Difference
Join the Movement
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.
