It's the first Friday of lent, Fish fry-day that is, and, it's worth taking a look at what the prices are like around town for a plate.

Kent Bondi, owner of Cast Nets Seafood in New Orleans East says that though he expected prices to be higher, when you've been in business as long as he and his family, today's prices are still eyebrow raising.


"I do find everything is running extremely high compared to what it has been, but we've been here 36 years, and it is just like wow!"

Kent says one crustacean put a damper on things.

"The crawfish price is a little steep for everybody so that kind of slows the crowd down."

Yes, our favorite mudbug may have kept some away, but all in all it was a good day.

"The fried food is still moving, a lot of out of towners are still here. So, for the most part still a solid day."
