Delightful Merriment
Come visit us at the Sunday Crescent City Farmers Market, and let Delightful Merriment bring a little taste of Louisiana to your day!
After retiring, I decided to try something new and started making pies to share with others. I never imagined I'd be selling them at farmers markets, but here we are! As I thought about what to create, I realized I had always avoided seafood pies because they were packed with rice or breadcrumbs, masking the true flavor of the seafood. So, I set out to make something simple and full of fresh, flavorful seafood, spiced just right. I made individual, bite-sized pies along with the classic 9-inch ones—filling a gap I noticed in the market. Each pie is made with love, using local Louisiana crawfish or Gulf shrimp and a special blend of Cajun spices that’ll transport you straight to the bayou. Now, a year into this journey, it brings me so much joy to see the delight on people’s faces after trying hot samples—often leading to both planned and unplanned purchases!
