It’s Good Friday. It’s New Orleans. Get ready for seafood, seafood, seafood. You can drive through for fish frys, you can drive through for crawfish boils. You can drive through for Easter Sunday dinner. If you want to support a cause, it’s there. If you just want to eat your favorites, they’re there. It may take you the day to get through this list. Enjoy. I know we will!
