Lafourche-Terrebonne Direct Seafood

Lafourche-Terrebonne Direct Seafood At a dock down the bayou, fresh seafood awaits. You can taste the difference when it's direct from the sea.

At LaTer Direct Seafood, local people connect with local fishermen for wild-caught seafood straight from the boat. Two of Louisiana’s southernmost parishes, Lafourche and Terrebonne lie in the heart of the state’s vast wetlands. These bayous, marshlands and fertile farmlands are the defining features of this area, and create a perfect environment for every seafood species—shrimp, crabs, oysters an

d finfish. The names of each parish reflect the defining features of the area, as christened by early French settlers. Lafourche, meaning ‘the fork’, refers to the descending fork of the Mississippi River that is the main bayou of the parish. The fork also describes the area geographically—the green fields of sugar cane in the north branch off into marshes, lakes and bays and streams that support an abundance of wildlife and seafood. Terrebonne combines the French words for ‘good’ and ‘earth’, and like Lafourche, refers to the incredible fertility of the soil and marshes. The name also aptly describes the way of life for generations of families, who to this day make their living ‘from the earth’, and especially from the many bayous that meander through the parish. Though every type of fish and shellfish are available, the oysters of Terrebonne parish have become internationally known as the finest in the world. The culture of Lafourche-Terrebonne emerged from a mixture of the Houmas and Chitimacha Indian tribes with settlers from France, Spain, England and the Acadians of Nova Scotia. Though once considered isolated, the many natural resources, Cajun hospitality and a thriving oil and gas industry have created a unique destination for tourists and locals alike. From swamp tours to fishing charters, there are a host of attractions that let you experience our bayou wonderland. The fishermen of Lafourche-Terrebonne, or LaTer, are spread out through this incredible coastal wetland environment. Whether you buy seafood off the boat, catch it yourself or take a charter trip—it’s always an adventure.

It’s time to sign up to participate in the 2023 Derelict Crab Trap Rodeo! The event will take place this year in the Terrebonne Basin (Saturday, February 4, 2023, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Isle de Jean Charles Marina at 571 Island Rd, Montegut, LA 70377).

This rodeo event allows LDWF and members of the public to work hand-in-hand, removing derelict crab traps that create navigational hazards. Since its inception, the program has disposed of more than 51,000 derelict crab traps.

LDWF encourages volunteers to participate in these events to make this crab trap rodeo a success and keep our Sportsman’s Paradise pristine. Commercial fishermen are highly encouraged to participate, as their experience with the local waters and ability to stack traps on their vessels is valuable.

If you are interested in volunteering to help, please register in advance at the following website:

Hi, everyone!

We have created a FACEBOOK GROUP with the same name as this page where you can join and make your own posts to promote your product and find fresh, local seafood. Please request membership to this associated group for continued interaction and premium seafood!

A new marketplace for members of the commercial seafood industry in the Lafourche-Terrebonne area wanting to sell their wares directly to consumers is now open on Facebook.

The Facebook group – www.facebook.com/groups/laterdirectseafood/ – was established by Louisiana Sea Grant/LSU AgCenter marine extension agent Haley Gambill as a means for local commercial fishermen, docks and processors to connect with customers in an online environment. Similar efforts were made years ago through a direct sales website, but the site never really took-off.
