Huffington Post features Deanie’s Seafood this National Seafood Month

New Orleans’ Best Seafood Restaurant celebrates seafood month

October marks National Seafood Month, and in Louisiana, we’re serious about our seafood! So, you can say, National Seafood Month is a holiday that is surely celebrated. There are multiple seafood restaurants all around Louisiana that claim to have the best & freshest seafood that you’ll ever taste. This isn’t always true, but in Deanie’s case it’s true.

Deanie’s Seafood Restaurants & Seafood Market have been serving up some of the best boiled, broiled, and fried Louisiana seafood for more than 50 years. Not only does Deanie’s Seafood Restaurant prepare their own signature seasonings, but they also pride themselves on having the freshest Gulf Seafood available.

Uprooted: Louisiana’s rich abundance of seafood has huge economic, cultural impact on the state

In 2010, after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig caused 4.9 million barrels of oil to spill into the Gulf of Mexico, BP vowed to clean up the mess for which they were responsible.

Apart from removing oil from the Gulf, BP allotted money to be used for a PR campaign that would not only clean up their image but would clear up the idea that the Gulf’s seafood was tainted by the spill.

Six years and millions of dollars later, the Louisiana Seafood Board is still working to do just that. Continue reading “Uprooted: Louisiana’s rich abundance of seafood has huge economic, cultural impact on the state”

Making heads or tails of a Louisiana delicacy

There’s a saying by some Texas newcomers, “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could.” Well, I’m from Texas and my saying goes a bit different: “I wasn’t born a Cajun, but I married one as fast as I could.” And nothing makes me think more lovingly about my Louisiana wedding day than listening to some Wayne Toups over a big platter of boiled crawfish.

Crawfish are just part of the Louisiana DNA. And now that they’re growing wild in one of the state’s most profitable revenue streams, people from all over the country are getting a little crawfish boil in their veins—and eating it up. Which makes the crawfish farmers, processors and distributors in Louisiana a pretty good living.
