Seafood Express

Joy is proving that you don't need to be near the coast to find the freshest catch in town! She sits down with Chris Perkins, the owner of Seafood Express, to hear the wild story of how a former factory worker turned his passion for food into a full-blown mission to bring Gulf-fresh seafood to the 417. From the early days of hauling 500 pounds of shrimp in a pickup truck to operating a thriving warehouse and retail market today, Chris shares what it really takes to source and transport high-quality seafood across the Midwest. 🦐🌊

Whether you’re a seafood pro or a little intimidated by the kitchen, Chris and his team have you covered with everything from "cracked money" remoulade sauce to fresh-shucked oysters and authentic Cajun staples like boudin sausage and crawfish. It’s a fun, inside look at the passion behind a business that’s bringing a little bit of the Gulf Coast to Springfield, six days a week! 😋🦞✨
