FRESH SEAFOOD THROUGH JEFFERSON PARISH
The story of the sacred Louisiana shrimp, fish, crab & crawfish begins way before we ever taste it on our plate. The adventure of its journey
there is to offer; in the way to which it was intended to be savored & tasted. Jefferson Parish is especially unique to
involves a myriad of twists & turns down the
Southeast Louisiana because it encompasses
warm waterways of the Gulf, Lake Pontchartrain
cities, towns & miles and miles of delicious
& in between our moss laden canals & bayous
shoreline ripe with the kind of seafood that brings
all delicately leading to the dedicated souls
visitors and locals back again and again.
born and raised with one goal in mind: to catch, deliver, serve & prepare the freshest seafood Tune Tacos, Grand Isle.
850 million pounds of seafood a year are produced from the state of Louisiana, making it the second largest seafood producer in the United States. From the water to the plate, there is fresh seafood abundantly available all over Jefferson Parish; you just have to know where to find it. Lucky for you…once you land your traveling toes in Southeast Louisiana you don’t have to go far to find more than you ever knew you were looking for to begin with. But how fresh is ‘fresh’ here? Hours from the water to your plate. Caught, brought, delivered, prepared and served most likely in a 24-hour time frame because that’s just the way we do it around here. But oh, where to start? Fly into our sparkling new Louis Armstrong International Airport in Kenner, grab your bags and your krewe & rent a car (or motorcycle) and head straight to Grand Isle Louisiana…still a part
