I f something pleasantly unusual
strikes you while your near Broad­
way don’t be alarmed, just follow
your scent to the Broadway Mall
Fish Market and Deli located on
1815 N .E. Broadway. The new
Broadway M all Fish Market and
Deli is under the dual proprietorship
o f James Harris and Beth Hoover,
who in Harris’s words, started the
business because,“ We saw a need
for the residents o f northeast Port­
land to have a fish m arket and
delicatessen specifically designed to
service their needs. The aim o f our
business is to provide customers
w ith top q u a lity products at
reasonable prices, and to give the
customers personalized service and
assistance.”
Harris is no newcommer to the
business world, in 1974 he started
Bon Vivant Clothier’s Store for men
and women’ s fashions. His store has
gradually
expanded
to tw o
locations, the U.S. Bank Plaza in
downtown Portland and in West
Salem Oaks H ill Mall. Harris who is
a native Portlander announced that
he and Hoover have plans for ex­
pansion. “ Right now we have den
sandwiches available to go, a wine
cellar will be opened on the premises
by a former sommelier o f the Ben­
son H otel. His experiences w ith
wines w ill provide dependable
service for interested patrons.
In addition plans are underway to
open a ” fish-chips” restaurant on
the second floor. Because there are
few qu a lity seafood restaurants
located in the area’ a business
d is tric t, our restaurant w ill be
designed to cater to the business’
lunch crowd p a rtic u la rly Lloyd
Center’s.
The other half o f the ownership is
Beth Hoover, a form er owner o f
‘ ‘ Books and T h ings"*locate d in
N .W . P ortland. Her experience
consists o f consultant work
primiarly concerned with women in
non-traditional fields. Both Hoover
and Harris have had considerable
experience
in
the
business
world.According to Harris, one of
the special attractions that the
market w ill o ffe r w ill be home
deliveries fo r senior citziens and
shut-ins available on Tuesday and
Friday. Q uality fish w ill also be
available daily, but special orders
can be obtained by calling before
3:00 p.m. Monday through Satur­
day.
When asked about the nutritional
and economic value o f seafood,
Harris asserted, “ Seafood is defin-
tely healthier fo r consumers. Its
protein value is higher than any
other meat and there is less waste
because practially all o f the product
is edible. E conom ically you get
more fo r your money and good
quality , inexpensive seafood in a
wide varictiy o f choices will be made
available at our store. Eighty-five
percent o f the m arket’ s products
will be fresh, the other fifteen per­
cent is frozen because these pro­
ducts aren’ t found on the west
coast.”
Both Hoover and Harris are gor-
muct cooks and information about
preparing fish can be obtained from
the m arket, in ad d itio n recipes
specifically created by the market
will be compiled and made available
to the customers.
The market’s operating hours arc
Monday through Friday, ,0:00 to
6:00 p.m.; Saturdays from noon to
4:00 p.m.; Sundays, noon to 4:00
p.m. Special orders and deliveries
