An Abilene favorite for seafood won't be serving oysters soon. Here's a snippet from a recent CNBC article:Red Lobster will soon take oysters off its menu, after its supplier was forced to shut down due to oil spill in the Gulf.
Darden Restaurants' said Red Lobster's supplier, Ameripure Processing Company, in Franklin, Louisiana, shut down late last week, because it was no longer receiving oyster harvests.
The shortage of supply is driven in part by the expanding ban on fishing in the Gulf of Mexico federal waters. The federal ban area this week reached nearly 87,000 square miles, or more than 36 percent of the Gulf of Mexico.
