Get Ready...It's A Long Story

Gene Long opened Motts Channel Seafood in May 1990 and has been operating for the past 31 years on Wrightsville Beach. Gene, a local fishing legend, is credited with getting it right from the beginning. Motts Channel Seafood is a true family business with Gene at the helm, his wife Alison and their two children Elizabeth & Lambert working hard to make sure their stellar reputation stays that way. Their new son in law, Michael, recently entered the picture and has jumped right into the family business as well.
