I would like to post a correction of Channel 8 news story broadcast tonight. Channel 8 reported that 33% of westbank restaurants mislabel that they are serving local shrimp and seafood when in fact they serve imported shrimp, crawfish and other seafood. Then Channel 8 listed a number of west bank restaurants that do serve locally caught seafood. One big problem, they failed to list that Segnette landing only serves locally caught shrimp, crawfish, seafood. Segnette Landing does not serve ANY imported seafood. And we do this at great expense to us. Locally sourced seafood is much superior and much more expensive.
But we believe our customers deserve the best. I hope Channel 8 has the decency to correct their broadcast as it could damage our business. Segnette Landing should have been listed as one of the few restaurants exclusively serving locally caught Louisiana seafood.
We have signage throughout the restaurant proudly proclaiming this. In fact, The lieutenant governor even chose Segnette landing to film a commercial announcing the new seafood labeling legislation when it first came out. Please come see and taste the difference for yourself.
