Seafood is an important part of life in Louisiana. The traditions of catching, cooking and eating seafood are are a major part of Louisiana life. Our ancestors had to live off the natural resources from the Gulf of Mexico to the surrounding lakes just to survive. The best restaurants in the world reside in Louisiana and those chefs know fresh Louisiana seafood has no equal.

Louisiana seafood tastes better because it is fresher. The product has a very short distance to travel from the water to your dinner table. It can not get any fresher than that. There is nothing better than buying fresh seafood off the side of the road that was caught today,

Other Domestic Seafood

The United States offers many different varieties of seafood from Alaska to the Northeast. It is very different than Louisiana seafood, but has it's own special taste. I have traveled to Boston and ordered a seafood platter. The problem was I was expecting shrimp, fish, oysters, and softshell crabs. However, the platter included squid, sole, clams, and scrod. I didn't know what to expect, but the dish was excellent. I have ordered seafood froma variety of sources througout the United States.
