BUSINESS Wallowa County Chieftain A6 Wednesday, May 26, 2021 Pier 303 to off er fresh seafood to county BIZZ BUZZ By Bill Bradshaw Enterprise couple to open restaurant this summer E NTERPRISE — Wal- lowa County will soon have its own pier from which fresh sea- food can be shipped to local seafood lovers, as Pier 303 Seafood Market gets ready to open. “We called it Pier 303 because we’re trying to con- nect the ocean to the moun- tains, so that’s where the idea of the pier came in, and 303 is the address,” co-owner Mac Freeborn said. Pier 303, set to open in mid- to late-summer adja- cent to their home on Gar- fi eld Street in Enterprise, will provide both fresh — for home cooking — and prepared seafood to custom- ers, as well as beer and wine to either consume on-prem- ises or to take out, he said. Freeborn recently received approval for a liquor license from the Enterprise City Council. Mac is the manager of Wallowa Lake State Park and wife, Zuly, works from home for Edward Jones Investments. They’re still considering whether to step away from those jobs as Pier 303 takes shape. As for getting freshly harvested seafood to Wal- Bill Bradshaw/Wallowa County Chieftain Zuly and Mac Freeborn stand with their dog, Coda, outside what will become Pier 303 Seafood Market on Garfi eld Street in Enterprise on Thursday, May 20, 2021. They hope to open by mid- to late-summer and bring fresh seafood to Wallowa County from the coast. lowa County, it’s not as sim- ple as casting a net or reel- ing in a line. It will have to be shipped. “We have several dif- ferent vendors,” Mac said. “One of our oyster vendors ships within 24 hours (of harvest), which is a really good thing. ... Those come out of Washington (state). We’re working on some other vendors to try to do things. One of our goals is to make trips to Newport and pick up the fi sh on our days off , and then it’ll be fresh.” He also mentioned a place in Portland that serves as a storage drop-off for fi shermen. “We would just drive to Portland and pick it up,” he said. “We’re still working out those details, but we’re trying to fi gure out the way to make it the freshest we can.” They anticipate a wide variety of seafood will be on hand. “As much as we can,” Mac said of their potential off erings. “Oysters, razor clams, stinger clams, rock- fi sh, tuna, salmon, lob- ster, if we can get our hands on an abalone, Dungeness crab, blue crab — we’re still trying to fi gure out everything.” Zuly emphasized all spe- cies will not always be available. “The ones that are ‘best practices’ for catching in season,” she said. “A lot of fi sh are not always in sea- son, so they’re not always going to be fresh. So (we’ll be) using ‘best practices’ when it comes to catching fi sh that are in season.” The Freeborns had hoped to open in early summer, but Mac had shoulder surgery, which delayed work on the place. They have done much of the work themselves, with contractors doing some. & Skylight Gallery In addition to the sea- food, Pier 303 will sell spe- cialty retail items. “(There will be) small, seafood kitchen items that you wouldn’t fi nd at your local grocery store,” Zuly said. These will include items with the Pier 303 logo, oys- ter shuckers, fi let knives, seasonings, spices and canned fi sh. While initially they’ll be selling fi sh to go, they also have other plans. “Eventually, we’ll do special events, like a fi sh-ta- cos night and an oysters-on- the-half-shell night and a grilled-oyster night with the thought that we’ll sell beer and wine,” Mac said. “Our focus is to not sell beer and wine that you can fi nd in the county … that we can provide at a decent cost — we’re not trying to break the bank.” Some of the prepared items they plan include hal- ibut and ceviche — a raw fi sh dish cooked in lemon or lime with spices and some vegetables. Some recipes call for cocktail sauce, some just lemon or lime, Mac said. “Zuly makes a great one with mangoes and cilantro,” he said. They’re eager to get the doors open to the public, Mac said. “We want everyone to come in,” he said. ——— Bill Bradshaw is a reporter for the Wallowa County Chieftain. Have a business tip?
