For the first time, local shrimpers offer hand-peeled, premium, frozen product at Delcambre Shrimp Festival
The Delcambre Direct Seafood program is unveiling a pilot frozen seafood product at the Delcambre Shrimp Festival, August 15 – 19. For the first time, local shrimpers will sell fresh-frozen shrimp to festival goers. Chef Patrick Mould will demonstrate recipes and offer samples, and fishermen will give talking tours at the dock.
Thomas Hymel, director of Louisiana Seafood Direct, says that this demonstration project is another avenue for shrimpers to connect with consumers and showcase the quality of Louisiana seafood.
"DelcambreDirectSeafood.com has helped local shrimpers rebuild their business by selling fresh-off-the-boat seafood direct to the public," says Hymel. "This project takes the direct concept to the next level–giving shrimpers an additional opportunity to sell with premium frozen shrimp that meets year-round demand."
