Tre-Fin Day Boat Seafood is a fisher and processor bringing our local seafood to market in a unique way. We started as Day Boat tuna fishers bringing hook and line caught albacore back to port within 24 hours. Based in Ilwaco, WA, our small team now fishes and purchases local seafood year round, both albacore and healthy seasonal groundfish stocks (black cod, halibut, ling cod, rockfish, petrale sole, skate wing). We follow the same Day Boat protocols, including hand-cutting the fish in our own certified processing facility.

Unlike most other fishers, we manage our entire supply chain: we catch, process and distribute our product. We believe that frozen is the best option for fisheries, fishers, the environment and eaters.

Our business model is founded on practices and principles that are better for fishers and fisheries, the environment and consumers. Through a supply chain that is completely transparent and that we control ourselves (because we are fishers, processors and distributors, all in one), we can account for the journey of our seafood from water to table.

46 North Farm is committed to the belief that everyone should have access to responsibly grown plant starts, flowers, and food. We don’t think the land and wildlife should suffer as a result, though. We farm on only a few of our 18 acres and leave the rest open for wildlife and pollinator habitat.

We do our best to source inputs, soil, seeds, fertilizers and amendments that comply with organic requirements, but we have chosen not to go through the organic certification process. We believe it is more important for our community to know that we are local and can be contacted directly with questions about how any plant is grown and harvested
