Smokey Parrish named King Retsyo


The Florida Seafood Festival has its King Retsyo.

The festival has chosen Franklin County Commissioner and Apalachicola resident Smokey Parrish to represent the festival this year.

Parrish has a 31 year history in the Seafood Industry.

He’s a seafood processor at Buddy Ward Seafood and has also worked at shrimping and oystering.

Smokey will join Miss Florida Seafood Christina Collins to promote the seafood festival which is coming up November 2nd and 3rd.

He will also take part in a number of events during the seafood festival including the parade, the blessing of the fleet and the oyster eating and shucking contests.

Retsyo, by the way, is Oyster spelled backwards.
