In 2013, CS Fishery was founded by longtime fisherman Jeff Wong, who saw problems with the current system of selling seafood.
Small-operation fishermen bringing in a premium catch were losing out through the distribution process going through commercial fish buyers, so Wong began using his own 24-foot dory boat to connect and buy direct from local fishermen to promote sustainable fishing and fair wages. Now, CS Fishery’s fleet is made from a handful of small and medium-sized boats that take short trips—meaning that their fresh catch will make it back to shore the same day.
