Seafood Festival June 12, 2010

The festival, which features food booths from some of the city's most celebrated seafood restaurants, "is all about celebrating our cultural heritage, " Smith said. "This year, we're bringing people together to support a very important cause. We're doing this for the fishermen."
Participating restaurants include Deanie's Seafood, which will serve charbroiled oysters, crawfish etouffee and fried crab balls; Dickie Brennan's Bourbon House, offering a "build your own" Creole tomato and a seafood platter; Redfish Grill, featuring ginger-boiled shrimp tossed in a sweet soy sauce and crawfish remoulade lettuce wraps; and Saltwater Grill, with crawfish and spinach boats, fried green tomato and shrimp remoulade po-boys and grilled alligator sausage on a stick.
Two stages, in the French Market and at the foot of Dumaine Street, will feature Bruce Daigrepont, Beausoleil avec Michael Doucet, Rosie Ledet, the Pine Leaf Boys and Terrance Simien.
