Seafood from the Gulf Coast that is. (Also, Alaska seafood, too.) I served a mission for my church in the Louisiana Baton Rouge mission. I served or was "stationed" in a few of the cities in Louisiana as well as a county in Mississippi. Baton Rouge, Covington, and Houma, all in Louisiana were my homes for roughly 6 weeks to 6 months each. How I LOVE the people of the south. While in Houma, I was able to meet a family who are eight generation oyster men. The Voisin's are an AMAZING family and were through a the toughest time in my mission that sent me home early. The Voisin's were always there and helpful to me and to my family. We are still in touch, and every now and then I get to see them. With the Hurricane Katrina, and then a few years later, the oil spill that hit the gulf, my heart went out to the family as well as others in the state who's livelihood depend on the fishing industry. In the past few weeks there were a group of bloggers that were given the opportunity to visit Louisiana and learn about the seafood industry and how the industry is surviving after the oil spill. Below is a link to a blog that I read, and found the article informational and well written. A bonus is a picture of Mike Voisin, the fearless leader of Motivatit Seafood, and my friend. Enjoy the article and BUY LOUISIANA Seafood!!!! (P.S. some of The. BEST. shrimp. I have EVER. HAD!!!
