Alabama Gulf Seafood Summit Underway

Chefs and fishermen from across the state are coming together to reel in new ideas about seafood.

The Alabama Gulf Seafood Summit is bringing together all facets of the state’s seafood industry for a two-day event in Orange Beach.  The event is meant to help networking and for those within the industry to make connections to help foster growth.

Chris Blankenship is the program coordinator for the summit. He says, "It’s an opportunity for us to bring together all the different people in the seafood industry to try and help them do business together. We’ll have the fishermen there, the processors, the wholesalers, the restaurants, the retailers, so we can discuss trends in the industry and availability of different types of product."
