This is visible in Oregon, whose seafood industry suffers a strange inversion, exporting almost all of its cornucopian seafood harvest, and importing almost all the seafood it consumes. Local Ocean Seafoods in Newport is the sneaker wave of change – we think, we hope – on the Oregon coast, where it is particularly needed. If Oregon exports its seafood, Local Ocean insists on keeping some of it home.
