NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The winner of the twenty-first Annual Great American Seafood Cook-Off was announced Saturday, Aug. 2. The competition was held in New Orleans.

According to the news release, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser and the Louisiana Seafood Promotion Marketing Board crowned Wesley True of Cleveland, Tennessee the 2025 King of American Seafood.

“I’m shocked. I competed some years ago and got second place back in the third Annual Great American Seafood Cook-Off in 2006, so I can’t believe I’m here right now. This is incredible,” True said. “Seafood is just such an important ingredient. We don’t have it locally in Tennessee obviously but the fact that we can get it locally and do something special with it is what matters most.”

Arnaldo Castillo from Atlanta, Georgia took second place, while Matt Brusca from Richmond, Virginia took third place.
