“Gulf seafood holds a special place in my heart. Of course, the wide variety of fish and the clean, fresh flavors of each species excite me as a chef. But, more importantly, Gulf seafood always seems to bring up some old memory of fishing with my dad in the Gulf or some story about a beach trip with friends. Gulf seafood brings people together and allows the best parts in people to really shine.” - Chef Kyle Walker of Automatic Seafood and Oysters 🎣

There’s more than one reason that choosing Gulf shrimp makes a difference. 🦐

First (and for some of us, most importantly): the taste. Gulf shrimp taste delicious, and you can tell a difference compared to the quality of imported farm-raised shrimp.

In addition, Alabama shrimp and the facilities that process them are highly regulated, so you can feel more comfortable knowing the shrimp you’re eating are safe and healthy to eat.

Plus, when you choose Alabama shrimp, you’re not just choosing your protein for one meal. You’re making a choice that impacts the Alabamians who brought the shrimp from the sea to the market.

And now, thanks to the seafood labeling bill, you’ll be even more empowered to know exactly where your shrimp is coming from. 🙌

Fresh Alabama Gulf Seafood is always a good idea—and thankfully, some fish are always in season. 🎣

🐟 Croaker: one of the most common coastal fish + delicious served baked with salt, pepper and lemon juice
🐟 Porgy (or Sea Bream): may be one of Alabama's most under-appreciated fish that's delicious when you serve the filets stuffed with capers, olives and herbs
🐟 Red Drum: a firm, succulent fish with a mild, sweet flavor that makes it ideal for blackening
🐟 Seatrout: the most abundant fish on Alabama's Gulf Coast with thick, white filets that tastes delicious poached
🐟 Shark: a delicacy in the Gulf that's typically sold as steaks and grills up nicely
🐟 Whiting: mild-tasting, flaky white filets that are perfect for a neighborhood fish fry
