Coming into NOLA Sunday. How is the oil slick affecting the food supply? Looking forward to some oysters softshell crabs and mudbugs.
You will still be able to get seafood as most of the restaurants stocked up. I can't promise it won't be more expensive than normal.
I can tell you that we now have 10lbs of frozen shrimp in our freezer where we NEVER have frozen shrimp because we could always get it fresh off the boats this time of year. I think SO even bought some oysters which I have no idea why because I have NEVER cooked them before.
We have been eating seafood like crazy though. I think I am going to turn into a char-broiled oyster or an oyster po' boy.
One other note, it's HOT as hell here right now and VERY humid. Ugghhh, this is my least favorite time of year. We go to STJ during the summer to escape the heat, and this is just the beginning of it.
