The owner's family relocated to Tennessee 13 years ago and started missing their favorite foods.

After some time, the family thought it would be a great idea and opportunity to bring Gowdy's Seafood to the growing area of La Vergne. "Gowdy's Seafood" will sell fried fish, wings and shrimp as well as liver's and gizzard's.
