Florida seafood featured on Capitol Hill

Florida seafood was served on Capitol Hill this week to show congress and the nation that Florida Seafood is safe to eat.
And Franklin County was represented.
Three of Florida’s finest seafood chefs prepared their best dishes for the Florida Seafood Celebration at Florida House in Washington, DC.
Chef Jim Shirley of the Fish House in Pensacola prepared “Grits a Ya Ya”. 
Chef Dean James Max, winner of the Great American Seafood Cook-off, prepared “Sebastian Inlet Clams BBLT” and Chef Josh Butler, the Executive Chef for Florida’s Governor’s Mansion, made “Dog Island Grouper Sliders”. 
There was also a buffet table with Lobster Pinwheels, Alligator Tail empanadas, Warm Citrus Blue Crab dip, peeled shrimp and gumbo.
The dinner was sponsored in part by Visit Florida as a way to show Florida’s commitment to recovery after the oil spill. 
Among the taste testers at the event were Florida Senator Bill Nelson and Florida Senator-elect Marco Rubio.
