Fresh Gulf Seafood On Tour

Alabama seaport scenery.

Time to plan the feast of the seven fishes dinner with fresh gulf seafood. I love this family tradition and any good excuse to eat lots of fresh seafood. This year I am looking forward to this dinner with a whole new outlook thanks to the hard-working folks down on the Gulf Coast.

Do you ever really wonder where your seafood comes from? Do you read grocery store labels? Have you asked the restaurant server when, where and who harvested the shrimp or the crab or the oysters before placing your order? If not you should be. In addition, if you are a lover of the all-you-can-eat buffet I can pretty much guarantee those cheap eats are coming from some foreign land. Honestly, I much rather eat a higher quality seafood and support the livelihoods of proud American families who work extremely hard to bring a fine product to my table.

During the World Food Championships 2016 Blogger Summit I had the privilege of traveling to Bayou La Batre, Alabama and touring places like the Murder Point Oyster Farm, the Olympic Shellfish crabmeat processing plant and the Graham Shrimp Company. Fresh from the Gulf of Mexico generation after generation of Alabama families have built their lives on the commercial seafood industry. Share their passion for hand-crafted quality. Don’t let it disappear. Ask for it by name.

Here is a recipe for Roasted Shrimp with Preserved Lemon from our holiday table Christmas Eve 2015. Give it a try. Wishing you Peace, Health and Joy and may you be surrounded by those you love most.

      The recipe card had a little snafu upon uploading but all fixed now. I buy preserved lemons at Whole Foods

      Wasn't it a great time in a beautiful part of our country? And those Alabama folks just among the nicest I have ever met.

      This is an easy recipe too when one is trying to crank out 7. I should have mentioned to look for IQF ( individually quick frozen) on the label if buying frozen American shrimp
