We love our seafood here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Most area restaurant menus are filled with tempting seafood choices straight from the Gulf of Mexico.
Celebrate National Seafood Month this month with locally sourced fresh fish, crustaceans and bivalves. If you are looking for ideas, we have a few ways you can enjoy the bounty.
- Catch your own. Cast a line from the Gulf State Park Fishing Pier, surf fish from the beach or charter a boat for a fishing excursion.
- Visit a local fish market. Most area fish markets are stocked with fresh gulf varieties.
- For fresh seafood caught daily, go to the source. You’ll find two options just north of Gulf Shores along River Road in Bon Secour, Billy’s Seafood and Aquila Seafood.
- Enjoy all the deliciousness without all the fuss at one of the many local seafood restaurants. You can find a nice list here.
However you choose to celebrate, be sure to pick up your trash and leave only footprints as you go.
