Can you really taste local? Few foods reflect a taste of place more than seafood. The unique waters of the Gulf of Mexico impart an unmistakable flavor into our shrimp and oysters. Pictured: Local Fishers David & Kim Chauvin of Dulac, LA

Blue crabs are found up and down the Atlantic coast, throughout the Gulf of Mexico and even further south. But they don’t all taste the same. The Gulf of Mexico and nearby marshes, lakes and bays pass on an unmistakable flavor to our local crabs. Pictured: Crabber Nolan Exsterstein of Mandeville, LA

We can all agree that the best seafood in the world comes from right here on the Gulf Coast. We buy our Gulf fish, shrimp, crabs, crawfish and oysters from dedicated, local fishermen who have worked our waterways for generations. Pictured: Local Fisherman David Maginnis of Houma, LA
