- Comments
- Saturday night fish fries were a New Orleans tradition (dating back several decades, but particularly popular during the Prohibition era) of piano parties, or rent parties, at which a pianist played and visitors donated as much money as they could afford; the beer flowed freely, with plenty of potato salad and (of course) fried fish. The sponsor would hang a red kerosene lamp on the gate so everyone would know it was a fish fry.
