From Gulf to Table: How We Source the Freshest Local Seafood at Evergreen

Fresh Caught, Chef Approved, Always in Season

At Evergreen Ocean Springs, we believe good food starts with great ingredients—and when it comes to seafood, nothing beats the bounty of the Gulf. Whether you’re savoring a flaky redfish, biting into a perfectly crisped soft-shell crab, or spooning up velvety crab bisque, the journey from ocean to plate is short, intentional, and deliciously direct.

This isn’t just a catch of the day. It’s a way of life.

🌊 Why Gulf Seafood? Because It’s Right. Here.

Our proximity to the Mississippi Sound and the greater Gulf Coast gives us access to some of the finest seafood in the country. We’re talking shrimp that taste like the sea, blue crabs that crack like a dream, oysters that practically shuck themselves, and fish so fresh they might’ve blinked at you.

And it’s not just about taste—it’s about identity. The Gulf is a huge part of who we are, culturally and culinarily. Sourcing local seafood means supporting the generations of fishermen, shrimpers, and oyster farmers who’ve kept the coast thriving.

🦐 Meet the Fishermen (And Women) Behind the Plate

We work with a tight-knit group of trusted purveyors—many of whom are just a few docks away. These are people who know the tides better than the weather report and can tell you exactly where and how their catch came in. They bring us seafood that’s responsibly harvested, handled with care, and always in its seasonal prime.

We’re not placing orders from across the country. We’re getting texts from the boat: “Just pulled in some snapper—want it whole?” Yes. Always yes.

🐟 What Shows Up on Your Plate (and Why)

Our Gulf-to-table approach means our menu changes with the season—and the tides. When flounder’s running, you’ll find it on the specials board. When soft-shell crab season hits, we’re celebrating with crunchy, golden goodness and a squeeze of lemon.

Favorites include:

• Crab Rangoon Oysters – Gulf oysters topped with lump crab and house-made sweet chili

• Whole Roasted Flounder – sea salt, citrus, thyme, and Southern magic

• Seasonal Fish Specials – grilled, blackened, or sauced to perfection based on what’s freshest

• Crab Bisque – a creamy, dreamy crowd-favorite featuring sweet Gulf crab claw meat

Each dish is crafted to highlight—not hide—the delicate, briny brilliance of the Gulf’s gifts.

🔁 Sustainable, Seasonal, and Seriously Delicious

We’re proud to support a more sustainable seafood model. That means embracing what’s abundant, respecting what’s at risk, and saying “no thanks” to out-of-season imports that clock more miles than flavor.

At Evergreen, our menu is written by the ocean, not a distributor. And trust us—the ocean’s got taste.
