Newport News Seafood Industrial Park Is right off interstate 664 in Newport News Virginia. The harbor is very sheltered and access is straightforward to the open ocean, which is a few miles from the facility. Described as one of the busiest small ports in the USA east coast, the area does an astonishing amount of business. Sources claim that over 50 Trawlers are based out of the Seafood Industrial Park. Nearly all of the boats hold limited entry scallop permits or fish for finfish, primarily summer flounder. Several seafood packers and three ice houses support the fishing community there. Among them are Chesapeake Bay Packing, Inc., Old Point Packing Inc., Casey's Seafood Inc. B&C Seafood Inc. and Peabody LLC.

According to sources, the port was 7th in the nation in total value of seafood for 2005, mostly due to the catches of scallops. The USA east coast scallop fishery shares the lead with the Northeast lobster fishery for the region's most seafood valuable resource.
