Seafood Industry in Newport, Oregon

The famous Bay Road in Newport, home of the two largest seafood export companies in the world, Trident Seafoods and Pacific Shrimp Co. Across the street is 70-year-old Mo's restaurant, which is known for having the best chowder in the world. 

OSU graduate Amber Morris, known as the "Fish Goddess" by locals, prepares to fillet a salmon at the restaurant Local Ocean. Amber has worked here since the restaurant opened 15 years ago and she is responsible for finding the best quality fish available on the docks. 

Marathon F/V sets out under the Yaquina Bay Bridge in early June for a 15-day trip in hopes of bringing back a bountiful cargo of Dungeness crab. The City of Newport is most known for being "The Dungeness Crab Capital of the World." The seafood industry is the city's main source of income. 

Orlando Tapia carefully selects a Dungeness crab to prepare it for the cleaning process, so it can be sold to the public.  

Here is the Black Cod Ceviche served on a homemade tortilla chip. The Ceviche consists of lime juice, cilantro, sweet onion, avocado, green bell pepper and chipotle aioli. This delectable dish can be found at Ocean Bleu Gino's a restaurant, located on the west side of the Bay Road in Newport.
