T’s Catch Seafood Market Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting in Freeport, FL

Destin native, Trent Wallace, is celebrating the opening of T’s Catch Seafood Market with a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting on June 10, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Alongside Mayor of Freeport, Russ Barley, and the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce, the community is invited to enjoy food and beverage samplings, live music, face painting, balloon making, a bouncy house and several surprises. While looking to fill a niche in the quickly-growing town of Freeport, Trent discovered the need for places to eat and especially a place to buy fresh, local seafood, steamed fresh shrimp, steaks and grab-n-go items. “We live in Freeport, in Hammock Bay, and the options for dining are limited. We wanted to position ourselves so that people coming home could swing by T’s Catch and grab dinner for the whole family. The location is also perfect for visitors coming into town.” says Wallace of the area. While T’s Catch is open and stocked for business, Trent envisions even more for the market. Currently, T’s Catch offers fresh Gulf fish, shrimp and scallops, as well as prime steaks, sauces, dips, and homemade products such as crab bisque, shrimp slaw, gumbo and a key lime pie named “best in town” by many customers. Sushi is freshly rolled Tuesday through Friday and always sells out, confirming the need for grab-n-go meals. T’s Catch also offers beer and wine and is in the process of expanding the selection as the need grows. Trent hopes to see you on June... Read More

Heartfelt Tribute to Late Friend: In a touching homage to his late friend, songwriter, Wes Herndon, has fulfilled a poignant promise by recording and releasing a remarkable tune that he and his friend, Ken Sloan, cowrote together before his Ken’s untimely passing. The tongue in cheek blues composition serves as an example of the humor they shared in their friendship and celebrates the indomitable spirit that prevailed throughout their creative, yet short journey as friends and creators. The song, titled “Blues for a Wife”, captures the essence of their shared experiences, and showcases their mutual comedic prowess…along with some excellent guitar riffs. Combining blues, parody, and a little alcohol infused creativity, the track strikes a harmonious balance between soulful melodies, humor, and evocative lyrics, paying homage to their unique bond and the profound impact their friendship had on their artistic endeavors. Having nurtured their creative partnership over the years through a local parody/satire website, Wes and his late friend had always envisioned sharing their darkly hilarious collaborations with the world. However, the devastating diagnosis and certain economic factors interrupted their plans, leaving Wes behind with a heartfelt longing to honor their collective talent and the memory of a dear friend.
