St. Bernard Parish Government and Louisiana Sea Grant will host the semiannual St. Bernard Seafood Market at Delacroix Pier event from on Saturday, September 8, 2018, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the new fishing complex (5565 Delacroix Highway).
This event will provide an opportunity for local commercial fishermen to sell their landings and other seafood products directly to the public. The purpose of the event is to have a good time and promote direct-to-market seafood retail in St. Bernard Parish.
