Whether it’s crawfish bread at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival or fried oysters at your favorite restaurant, New Orleanians know their seafood. So, it’s no surprise that we ace it when it comes to the season of Lent. It’s of course technically a Catholic holiday, but no matter what your religious affiliation, this season gives New Orleanians the opportunity to overindulge in their favorite seafood dishes.
We often write about date ideas on “Let Them Eat Cake” because the past year has been difficult with the coronavirus pandemic and sometimes you just need a date night with your future Mr. or Mrs. Lucky for all of us, several New Orleans restaurants are helping us combine date night ideas with the Lenten seafood surge.
