Lowell, MA, September 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- For the second consecutive year, East Coast Gourmet’s took home the crown for Best Bisque or Stew at the 21st Annual Hampton Beach Seafood Festival in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, this past weekend. Their Lobster Bisque recipe beat out over 60 competing vendors to take this year's prize, while their Butternut Squash and Crab Bisque was the winner at last year’s event.

Thousands of seafood lovers descend on Hampton Beach each September for the festival, now in its third decade, to sample the best coastal cuisine from over 60 regional seafood restaurants and vendors. The festival once again made the list of the American Bus Association’s Top 100 Events and Festivals in the US, and is on their list for 2011 as well.

Both bisques are part of East Coast Gourmet’s premium gourmet seafood line. These products are available commercially to restaurants, supermarkets and food service companies nationwide who want to offer their customers these award-winning dishes. In addition to soups and seafood chowders, the East Coast Gourmet brand also encompasses a variety of seafood appetizers, seafood pies and seafood burgers.
