Nothing brings people together like fresh Mississippi seafood!

Through sponsorship support from MDMR's Mississippi Seafood Marketing Program, attendees at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Billfish Classic Kick-Off Party enjoyed a taste of Gulf Fresh Mississippi Seafood, including shrimp, flounder and oysters.

MDMR's cooking team prepared freshly boiled shrimp and fried flounder, while Holy Ground Oysters and Eagle Point Oyster shucked and served fresh oysters on the half-shell.

Events like the Mississippi Gulf Coast Billfish Classic provide valuable opportunities to showcase the quality, freshness and flavor of Mississippi seafood while supporting the fishermen, oyster farmers and seafood businesses that help drive our coastal economy.

When you choose Gulf Fresh Mississippi Seafood, you're supporting local families, local businesses and Mississippi's rich coastal heritage.
