We have dug up some facts about Gulf seafood that you may not have been aware of:

ŸGulf Coast produces 70 percent of the nation’s oysters, 69 percent of domestic shrimp, and is a leading producer of domestic hard and soft-shell blue crabs.

Gulf Coast Seafood impacts our regional and national economy profoundly with a combined income of $26.9 billion and an influence on sales of over $60 billion nationwide.Gulf Coast Seafood’s taste profile is superior because of the nutrient-rich environment found in the Gulf.

In blind taste tests, consumers chose Gulf Seafood (oysters, shrimp and crab) products over others sold in the United States 85% of the time.

Gulf Seafood is plentiful and sustainable, and its producers work hard to provide a nourishing, fresh product while protecting species for future generations.
