Louisiana Medal-Winning Fish with Crawfish Menuière Sauce
At HomeandFashion.Love Easter is not only a time for reflection—it is a time for flavor, heritage, and soulful gatherings. We honor the spirit of the season through dishes that carry the weight of memory and the brilliance of celebration.
This year, we invite you to explore a coastal Southern masterpiece:
Louisiana-style crispy black drum, generously topped with a buttery, lemon-kissed crawfish menuière sauce.
It’s bold. It’s sacred. And it’s meant to be shared.
