Enjoy Sportsmen’s Canning All Around the Peninsula

One of the best parts about living here on the Long Beach Peninsula is that incredible local seafood isn’t just something you buy — it’s something woven into the community. From the working docks of Ilwaco to the restaurants, cafés, and gathering spots scattered across the coast, locally caught seafood tells the story of this place. And at Sportsmen’s Canning, we’re proud to be part of that story.

Our wild-caught albacore tuna has become a local favorite not only from our cannery shelves, but also in dishes crafted by talented chefs around the peninsula. There’s something special about seeing local seafood transformed into meals that bring people together after a day at the beach, the marina, or exploring town.

One standout example? You can find Sportsmen’s Canning tuna featured at The Depot Restaurant in Seaview in their incredible tuna cakes — a dish that perfectly captures the fresh, coastal flavors of the Pacific Northwest.

Made with local albacore tuna, ginger, garlic, and serrano pepper, these tuna cakes are packed with flavor and just the right touch of heat. Paired with a bright ginger-orange sauce, creamy wasabi aioli, roasted vegetable couscous, and fresh house slaw, the dish highlights just how versatile canned fish can truly be.

It’s a reminder that high-quality canned seafood isn’t just for sandwiches or crackers — although we love those too. Our tuna can become the centerpiece of elevated coastal cuisine, easy weeknight dinners, beach picnics, brunch spreads, pasta dishes, tacos, salads, and more.

That’s the beauty of locally sourced seafood. It connects our community from the boats in the harbor to the kitchens across the peninsula.

When you shop at Sportsmen’s Canning, you’re supporting generations of fishing tradition, local families, hardworking crews, and the small businesses that make our coastal towns feel alive. Every can carries a piece of the Pacific Northwest with it — wild-caught flavor, local pride, and a story worth sharing.

So next time you’re out exploring the peninsula, keep an eye out for local seafood dishes featuring Sportsmen’s Canning products. Stop into The Depot for those unforgettable tuna cakes, then swing by the cannery to stock up and create your own coastal-inspired meals at home.

Because around here, great seafood is more than food — it’s part of the lifestyle.
