Fresh

Food should taste good, and with seafood, freshness is as important as preparation. Local Ocean Seafoods buys fish directly from boats here in Newport – so you get it at its freshest. It's what makes our seafood taste so great.

Local

“Local Ocean Seafoods makes it easy to be a locavore. Labels tell you where the seafood came from, how it was harvested – even the name of the boat that pulled it in.”

Fair

Food producers should receive fair compensation for their work. Local Ocean Seafoods pays top dollar directly to fishermen for the high-quality fish we serve. By eliminating the middle man, we can also serve our seafood at fair prices.
