(Garibaldi, Oregon) – Those wandering the coast and looking to chow down closer to the dock now have a new guide to local catches along the Pacific Northwest shoreline.
The Oregon Coast Visitors Association (OCVA), in partnership with the Oregon Ocean Cluster, just launched the Oregon Coast Seafood Trail last week. The initiative connects visitors and residents with more than 20 fisher-family-run eateries, seafood markets, dockside retailers, and food carts that prioritize Oregon-landed and Oregon-grown seafood.

The program aims to close a long-standing gap between what is harvested off the state’s coast and what is actually served there. According to a 2022 OCVA-commissioned study, roughly 90% of the seafood supplied to studied Oregon Coast businesses and institutions was non-local catch.
Through an interactive online map and trip-planning tools, the trail highlights businesses sourcing regional staples – including Dungeness crab, pink shrimp, albacore tuna, salmon, oysters, clams, halibut, and groundfish- directly from Oregon’s working waterfronts.
“Oregon’s seafood industry is deeply tied to the identity and economy of the coast,” said Marcus Hinz, executive director of the Oregon Coast Visitors Association. “The Seafood Trail gives visitors an opportunity to experience the stories, people, and places behind Oregon seafood, which also gives folks a practical way to support coastal livelihoods.”
Participating spots include businesses like Ecola Seafoods Restaurant & Market in Cannon Beach. Owned by a commercial fishing family, the market serves wild seafood caught by its own vessels and other local fleets, offering seasonal hauls of razor clams, bay shrimp, salmon, and crab.
Also currently on the list:
• Port Orford Seafood Market – Port Orford
• Umpqua Triangle Oysters – Winchester Bay
• Local Ocean Seafoods – Newport
• Clausen Oyster Deli – North Bend
• Ona Restaurant & Lounge – Yachats
• OleBob’s Seafood Market – Astoria
• Sea-Bre’s – Toledo
• Sal de Mar – Newport
• Battery 245 Brewing Co – Warrenton
• Ecola Seafoods Restaurant & Market – Cannon Beach
• Little Fish Fine Seafood Market – Coos Bay
• Port Orford Sustainable Seafood – Port Orford
• West Fish Co. – Pacific City
• The Spot – Garibaldi
• Kismet’s Landing Restaurant – Reedsport
• Blue Box Seafood Company – Winchester Bay
• South Bay Wild Fish House – Astoria
• Fishermen Direct Seafood – Gold Beach
• Captain’s Corner – Garibaldi
The launch aligns with broader regional and federal efforts to strengthen domestic supply chains and off-peak tourism:
• Federal alignment: The trail reflects goals outlined in the America First Seafood Strategy, a federal plan released Oct. 23 that promotes direct sales, restaurant partnerships, and regional marketing to connect U.S. producers with buyers.
• Off-season tourism: During her Oct. 29 keynote at the Oregon Coast Economic Summit in Seaside, Travel Oregon Executive Director Kate Sinner noted that the trail encourages travelers to buy fresh seafood for coastal meals or to take home, helping drive visitor spending to small businesses during quieter months.
Beyond acting as a dining directory, organizers say the Oregon Coast Seafood Trail is designed to give travelers a deeper look into the region’s maritime heritage and the families sustaining Oregon’s blue economy.
