Dine at one of these 250+ restaurants participating in Dine America on Wednesday, Dec. 1.

November 29, 2010

On Wednesday, Dec. 1, more than 150 chefs and restaurants in cities across the country will participate in the first "America’s Night Out for Gulf Seafood." All participating restaurants will be serving a special dish that includes either fish, oysters, shrimp or crabs from the Gulf of Mexico, which supplies nearly half of the seafood consumed in the United States.

America’s Night Out for Gulf Seafood is intended to show that seafood from the Gulf of Mexico, the most scrutinized and tested seafood in the entire world, is safe and enjoyable to eat. The special night out is also meant to honor the thousands of Americans and their families in the Gulf seafood industry who are now back to work, fishing the Gulf waters after the oil spill.
