FishPeople at Garibaldi Landing Donates 100 Pounds of Fresh Crab to Nehalem Bay House

Posted on by Editor

It’s a bountiful crab season. In fact, FishPeople Seafood Market at Garibaldi Landing has so much crab that they thought the beneficiaries of the Smiley Brothers Salmon Harvest might enjoy a crab feed. On Friday January 24th, Jeremy Zeller, Landing Supervisor, made a quick call to Smiley Brothers volunteer coordinator Laura Swanson, and 100 pounds of fresh crab was delivered to Nehalem Bay House that afternoon. “FishPeople at Garibaldi Landing are an awesome partner in our fish harvest, and it was great that they reached out and thought about providing such a great seasonal treat for the residents of Nehalem Bay House,” said Swanson.

“These are our ‘B’ crabs that aren’t as marketable (missing legs, etc.), and when I realized that we had an excess my first call was to Smiley Brothers,” said Jeremy.
