GULFPORT, MS – Do you know where your shrimp come from?
If not, you can now. The Mississippi Hospitality and Restaurant Association unveiled its Gulf Seafood Trace Program.
Supported by BP grant funds, this program's aim is to get all local restaurants on board to buy traceable shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico and then tell you, the consumer, exactly where it came from.
"We have the best seafood in the world right here off the Gulf Coast," said Kevin Fish, Manager of Half Shell Oyster House in Downtown Gulfport.
That's why he is proud to prepare local seafood, and his guests are eating it up.
