PICK OF THE WEEK: Sea Bream!

While folks around the country are bracing themselves for the meatless Fridays of Lent, we here in the Crescent City are gearing up for a seafood celebration! A market favorite is Sea Bream, also known as Sheepshead, and is a fish that we'll frying (grilling, sauteing, baking) all Lent long. This whitefish is a perfect meat substitute not just during Lent, but all year round thanks to its low saturated fat content and high level of protein. You can pick up some Sea Bream at most Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday markets from Pete & Clara's Seafood.

TUESDAY'S GREEN PLATE SPECIAL

We're so sad that this will be Hillel's Kitchen's last week as our Green Plate Special! To all those who've fallen in love with the roasted tomato soup, falafel pita, or any of their tasty baked goods, be sure to come out and grab a plate!
