Chuck’s
Seafood
is a
family
owned
business
started
in
1953
by
Chuck
and
Alberta
McGeorge
as
primarily
a
retail
counter,
smoke
house,
and
custom
cannery
that
canned
salmon
and
tuna
for
sports
fisherman.
Jack
and
Diana
Hampel
bought
the
business
in
1980.
Three
sons
virtually
grew
up
in
the
business
and
two
of
them
are
working
in
the
business
today.
Heath
Hampel
manages
the
market
and
cannery
and
Jess
Hampel
runs
our
Oyster
farm.
The
business
has
changed
and
grown
over
the
years,
we
do
more
commercial
canning
and
processing
today,
but
we
still
do
much
of
the
same
as
the
business
did
when
it
began.
We
are
still
using
our
old
fashion
smokehouse
that
is
fired
with
our
native
Alder
Wood.
We
have
a
complete
selection
of
our
local
canned
products
for
sale
by
individual
cans,
cases,
or
made
up
in
gift
boxes.
Our
canned
goods
can
be
shipped
via
FedEx
Ground
and
our
perishables
by
FedEx
Air.
In
the
early
1980s
we
began
growing
our
own
oysters
and
by
1992
we
purchased
a
new
site
for
the
oyster
business
and
created
Coos
Bay
Oyster
Company.
We
shuck
our
own
oysters
for
our
market
every
day.
If
you
are
looking
for
fresh
shucked,
in
shell
for
BBQ,
or
fresh
smoked,
we
have
them.
We
strive
to
put
out
the
best
products
available.
There
are
only
two
ways
to
achieve
that
goal,
and
that
is
to
use
the
very
best
products
available
and
to
process
it
as
fresh
as
possible.
Our
location
here
on
the
bay
and
having
our
own
cannery
enables
that.
We
are
located
in
Charleston,
Oregon.
We
are
about
8
miles
west
of
Coos
Bay,
Oregon
so
if
you’re
driving
the
Oregon
Coast,
we
invite
you
to
stop
and
look
around
