Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board

Imported seafood is a reality within the modern American food landscape. Between 80 and 90 percent of the seafood Americans eat is imported—half of which is farm-raised. And with several studies showing contaminants and antibiotics in seafood from Asia—particularly in shrimp and tilapia, two of the most popular species among American consumers—the need for a wide variety of high-quality domestic options in-store is greater than ever.

American seafood is responsibly raised, free of contaminants often found in imported seafood and FDA-regulated, unlike 98 percent of imports. Louisiana Seafood is unparalleled in the U.S., and all of the seafood that’s caught in Louisiana is the highest quality available. Shrimp, crabs, oysters, fish and so much more are available from Louisiana’s suppliers year-round, offering you and your customers a consistent, high-quality option when it comes to seafood.
