It’s no secret that New Orleans is a city surrounded from all sides by bodies of water. The Gulf of Mexico is less than 80 miles away, its prolific waters helping Louisiana earn the status of second-largest seafood-producing state in America. Yet there is a wide disparity between the biodiversity in the Gulf and what’s available to both chefs and retail consumers in the city. Porgy’s sets out to bridge that gap, offering a direct source for sustainable, wild-caught seafood while providing an outlet and a platform for Louisiana’s traditional, multi-generational, and independent fisheries. The upshot is the creation of a space in the supply chain for bycatch, or unwanted species that are typically discarded. Our case selection is every changing with fishermen delivering at all times. Please see below for a sampling of the array of species you may find on any given day.
