We are a small family owned fishing business offering only the finest quality custom-canned albacore tuna, salmon and other seafood products.
We are proud to announce that as of August 25, 2008 we have been awarded the Marine Stewardship Council Chain of Custody Certification ensuring that our albacore is sustainably harvested and eco friendly. You can be assured that you know where your tuna comes from and that it is of the highest quality, clean, healthy and sustainably harvested. (www.msc.org)
We have been providing only the best seafood for specialty markets, health food stores and families like yours across the county for over 20 years. Oregon's Choice Gourmet Albacore is unique among canned tuna because it is produced by an individual fisherman. That would be me - Herb Goblirsch. My fishing vessel, F/V EZC, uses only hook and line to catch Albacore tuna and Chinook salmon at their peak of quality. I'm proud that my fishing methods are among the cleanest and most sustainable in the world. I think that a good fisherman is not necessarily one who catches lots of fish, but one who takes good care of what he catches, and protects the resources of the sea for those to come.
We are members of the American Albacore Fishing Association (AFFA) (www.americanalbacore.com). e are only 1 of only 26 vessels worldwide with certification to deliver MSC certified albacore for consumers.
