Food events/seasonal goodness in mid-January?

[MJP]

We're planning a trip to NOLA from January 10th-16th. We'll have a car for a few days. I'd be dying to take in whatever's in season - seafood, game, produce, anything that's fresh and unique.

So what's in season? Specifically, I'd kill for real, fresh crawfish.

Sorry, you're early for crawfish. On the other hand, oysters will be at their prime. They're best when the water is cold.

If you could just stay a few more days, you'd make the first parade of Carnival!

You're also right in the middle of King Cake season....you could gain more than a few pounds sampling various king cakes 'round town.
