Schooling 'Big Fish' Buyers In Boston

For decade after decade Louisiana Seafood has been educating prospective buyers at North America’s largest seafood trade exposition, the International Boston Seafood Show. From a 20-foot by 50-foot pavilion emblazoned with images of the state’s seafood offerings, representatives for Louisiana Seafood, The Food Group and seven processors will show and sell the advantages of seafood sourced in Louisiana.

Venue Teems with Potential Buyers

“The biggest benefit of attending the show was the ability to reach out to so many people we would not normally get to see, without having the full expense of a booth,” said Courtney Frugé, marketing director for Frugé Seafood. Photo: Frugé Seafood

Attendees from more than 120 nations are expected for the exposition March 10-12 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. “This is the only show that brings in such a large group of buyers,” said Donna Klingenberg, vice president, The Food Group. “They represent restaurants, retailers, distributers, cruise ships, hotels, hospitals, schools, importers and exporters. We’re there to take as many meetings as we can get, and bring back as many leads as we can.”
