Connie - Fishermen Direct SalesConnie Szymczac

Hi! I am Connie Szymczak. I have lived in Gold Beach almost all my life. My parents moved here when I was just 4-years-old. The logging industry brought my family to this area. My father was a timber faller and there was a lot of logging going on back then. I started working at Fishermen Direct back in 2001. I started out learning how to fillet rockfish and salmon, how to load the smoker, and how to cook big pots of Dungeness crab.

I like doing the many different jobs always waiting at the fish shop. I have learned a lot about fishy facts about fish, but the most important thing I learned is how to take care of fish you might eat. This careful handling makes such a difference in the quality of the fish we sell. The crew at Fishermen Direct works hard to keep our excellent reputation for fresh and fresh frozen fish products. I am proud to be a Fishermen Direct fish-monger!

Partner, Fisherman

About 11 years, ago three veterans of the Oregon commercial fishing industry sat on the dock facing severe industry problems -- declining prices for their troll caught Chinook salmon, lack of markets for their fish and farmed-raised salmon, replacing wild-caught fish, selling for lower prices and containing artificial dyes.  To top it off there was no place to buy fresh fish or sell commercially caught fish in coastal Gold Beach.
