It's Baton Rouge: Out To Lunch

South Louisiana is famous for its seafood but can you harness our passion for poisson and turn it into a fast food fish biz, like Popeye s and Cane s have done with chicken That s what Tyler Pizzolatto is banking on. Around a year ago Tyler, whose family is steeped in the Baton Rouge fish biz, opened Crispy Catch the area s first fast causal restaurant featuring farm raised catfish in every menu item. Crispy Catch is in the Perkins Road overpass area of Baton Rouge. You might be suprprised to find out where the Crispy catfish farm is located. In the fish biz, as in every other business, knowledge is power. Aggregating knowledge from fishing boats and seafood processing plants is not a simple process. That s the specialized business of fish fact company, Blue Fin Data. A Baton Rouge company, Blue Fin has created software specifically for the seafood industry that improves communication and increases transparency between seafood dealers and government agencies.
