    DESTIN, Fla. – A Destin chef is set to compete for the title of King or Queen of American Seafood in New Orleans on Saturday.

    Al Massa of Brotula’s Seafood House and Steamer faces 13 other chefs from around the country in the 18th Annual Great American Seafood Cook-Off at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans on August 6, Brotula’s Seafood House & Steamer said in an announcement.

    “We are very excited and extremely humbled to have the opportunity to represent Destin, the Panhandle, and the Great State of Florida in the Great American Seafood Cookoff,” said Massa.

    To be eligible to compete in the event, chefs must either hold the current title of King or Queen of Seafood or be appointed by the lieutenant governor of their respective state or territory. Massa was appointed to represent Florida.

    The 14 competing chefs will cook in front of a live audience and a panel of nationally acclaimed judges.

    The event is held in conjunction with the Louisiana Restaurant Association Showcase.
