Lake Charles Seafood Retailer Closing Its Doors

A local Lake Charles seafood retailer has announced they will be officially closing their doors later this year. This is an incredibly sad day for not only Southwest Louisiana but also for Louisiana Seafood lovers as a whole.

Bourg Fresh Seafood in Lake Charles announced on Wednesday that in November, the business will be closing its doors. Bourg Fresh Seafood is a part of Louisiana Direct Seafood, which is a marketing initiative administered by LSU Ag Center and Louisiana Sea Grant, with funding from the Louisiana Office of Community Development and the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Council.

Fans are not taking the closing lightly, here are some of the comments on the Facebook Page.
