Representatives from the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board (LSPMB), New Orleans, and Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), Baton Rouge, La., joined Louisiana seafood industry leaders to announce the Vermilion Bay Sweet White Shrimp Gumbo Pack from Delcambre Direct Seafood as one of the first products to carry the "Certified Authentic Louisiana Wild Seafood" seal on the packaging.
"Vermilion Bay Sweet Shrimp Gumbo Packs are processed, packaged and distributed by Gulf Crown Seafood [Delcambre, La.] in a cooperative effort with The Port of Delcambre and Delcambre Direct Seafood," says Thomas Hymel, project manager for Louisiana Direct Seafood. "This Louisiana Certified Seafood product is sustainable, traceable, contains no sodium tripolyphosphate and meets an ever-increasing demand for fresh, quality gumbo-sized shrimp."
