Fish: Food bank distributes some fi sh to 35 partner agencies
Continued from Page 1A
State Police following safety
inspections. The regional food
bank had obtained the neces-
sary licenses to process the
fi sh itself. Fishhawk Fisheries
often allowed the food bank to
use its facilities on weekends.
“We’re all set up for him,”
Fishhawk Fisheries owner
Steve Fick said of Martin and
the food bank. “It made sense
to say, ‘Hey, come use it and
leave it as you found it.’”
But the remaining steps
proved arduous for Mar-
tin, his three-person staff and
the equivalent of 30 full-time
volunteers. Often times, they
would pick up thousands of
pounds of fi sh on short notice
before working 18 to 20 hours
cleaning, cutting, portioning
and packaging.
“It got to be too busy for
us,” Martin said.
Previous state bycatch laws
made companies timid to pro-
cess illegally or accidentally
caught fi sh, said Phillip Ken-
nedy-Wong, a legislative rep-
resentative for Oregon Food
Bank who advocated for the
bill. The companies were con-
cerned, since previous bycatch
restrictions did not make an
exception for fi sh donated to
food banks, that they could
lose their processing licenses.
“That was huge from a psy-
The Clatsop Community Action Regional Food Bank has
been providing fresh fish to families in need since 2012 and
is hoping to expand the program in the future.

chological and mental stand-
point for a business,” Kenne-
dy-Wong said.
With the bycatch law in
place, the food bank now
can make arrangements with
a third party, such as Fish-
hawk Fisheries or Pacifi c Sea-
foods, to process the fi sh at no
cost. In return, the processor
is allowed to keep fi sh parts
such as eggs and entrails and
distribute them for other pur-
poses. The food bank then dis-
tributes some fi sh to 35 partner
agencies — churches, schools,
shelters and food pantries —
at up to 18 cents per pound.
The low cost allows the
agencies to distribute the fi sh
at no cost to low-income fam-
ilies. The food bank also has
donated some of the more than
140,000 pounds of fi sh col-
lected since 2012 to about a
half dozen other food banks.
The new process allows the
food bank to continue accept-
ing donations and offering fi sh
at no price to the consumer at
even higher volumes, Martin
said. “We’ve now come full
circle, if you will, in the pro-
cess of processing fi sh.”
‘We’re crazy enough’
For the time being, Clatsop
Community Action’s model
has remained an almost exclu-
sively local experiment. Only
one other food bank in the
state, South Coast Food Share
in Coos Bay, attempted the
model.
Martin hopes CCA’s
recent
partnership
with
Pacifi c Seafoods, which oper-
ates at numerous locations
in the Pacifi c Northwest and
throughout the country, may
help other food banks develop
their own partnerships with the
company.
Before joining CCA in
2007, Martin worked for
decades in the food industry
as a retail store manager. His
atypical background prior to
joining the food bank, com-
pared with other food bank
representatives who often have
a social work background,
likely gives him an advantage
in food distribution.
“The key distinction is not
having the resources, per se,
but business relationships,”
Kennedy-Wong said. “Mar-
lin has that entrepreneurial
sense.”
Another major reason for
the lack of expansion state-
wide has been the fi shing
industry itself, Kennedy-Wong
said. Quotas, a competitive
fi shing economy and tribal
treaties in other parts of the
state can all factor into how
many resources companies can
expend processing donated
fi sh.
“I don’t think any one of
us thought it would be a huge
windfall,”
Kennedy-Wong
said.
The Pacifi c Seafoods part-
nership, though, leads Martin
to believe that other regional
food banks can follow suit.
“Here in Clatsop County,
we’re crazy enough to take an
idea and make it work,” Mar-
tin said. “We believe that Clat-
sop County, the CCA Regional
Food Bank and their proces-
sors are setting a model up that
we will be able to take to Ore-
gon Food Bank and to ports
and processors in the entire
state and say, ‘This is a model
that works.’”
