If it's a Friday in New Iberia during Lent, that means folks are searching for a good seafood meal. Whether that means going to a family crawfish boil, grabbing a bite to eat at your favorite seafood restaurant, or supporting our local churches and other non-profit organizations, Friday nights around here are known as Fish Fry Fridays.
Check out this list of area churches and local groups in New Iberia, Abbeville, Breaux Bridge, and Morgan City offering a Fish Fry Friday or other seafood dinners during the Lenten season.
Take a night off from dinner duty and support some of the local organizations in our community to get your seafood fix! We will continue to add to this list during Lent as needed.
Please be sure to call to about availability and doublecheck hours before heading out.
