Cotton Blues by Liz Thorpe

My great-grandfather, grandfather and father all supported their families by hunting and fishing along the fertile coast of Terrebonne Parish. In 2003, we were having a difficult time due to the flood of imports crashing our dockside prices. Rouses stepped up and offered local shrimpers a spot to sell shrimp in front of their stores; I sold my shrimp in front of their store in Covington. Then they asked if I was interested in selling shrimp directly to their stores. That day changed the course of my business. Rouses helped my business grow beyond my expectations. I’m forever grateful to them for giving me that chance. — Lance Nacio, Owner and Captain, Anna Marie Seafood
