Have you thought about taking a seafood tour on Alabama’s Coastal Connection? Fresh seafood is easy to find for including in your favorite recipe. Or, if you would rather someone serve you, we’ve got you covered there as well 

When you map your Scenic Byway seafood tour, be sure one of your stops is in Bayou La Batre, a traditional fishing village described as the “Seafood Capital of Alabama.” South Mobile County hosts a variety of fresh seafood markets and restaurants

Across Mobile Bay in Baldwin County, you’ll have a hard time choosing where to go first. Visitors flock to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach for the beautiful white-sand beaches and family atmosphere. They also come for the fresh seafood prepared by world-class chefs. Both cities offer a variety of options for fine dining to family-friendly fun. 

 As you travel north, the seafood doesn’t lose its freshness. Make a stop at the Coastal Alabama Farmers and Fishermens Market  in Foley for the local seafood available in this outdoor market. If you can stay a few days, take advantage of the stops along Foley’s own Seafood Trail that covers three days of dining pleasure.
