Should You Throw Out Closed Shellfish After Cooking? A Gulf Coast Note From Orange Beach & Ono Island

Gulf Coast Shellfish Mussels Clams Safety

Living along the Gulf Coast has its own beautiful rhythm — the tides, the marina lights, the sound of boats moving through the back bays, and the simple pleasure of fresh seafood shared at the end of the day. From Orange Beach to Ono Island, seafood is part of the coastal lifestyle so many people come here dreaming about.
