Brenda’s Seafood Casserole

If you have lived, fish or hunted in South Louisiana, you know that seafood and wild game abound. Most Cajun children know how to catch shrimp by throwing a cast net while standing ankle deep in Rockefeller Refuge waters or the waters of Rutherford Beach. Because of its unique location, Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge near Cameron, Louisiana is one of the most important wildlife areas in the United States. Another method to catch seafood is to run a sane (a long and wide type of casting net) along the beaches ocean floor standing waist deep in the waters while patiently pulling in today’s dinner or tomorrow’s crab stew.
