NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — On Labor Day, they’ve gone fishing.

That’s what they do every day around here at Porgy’s Seafood Market at 236 North Carrollton Ave.

And right here is where WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood finds a couple of Lady Mongers.

Folks who sell fish are known as Fish Mongers.

The two ladies who run Porgy’s added their own word to the vocabulary. Two words, actually.

Lady Mongers.

The ladies are Camille Staub and Caitlin Carney.

They’ve got resumes in the Louisiana restaurant business. A few months ago, they opened Porgy’s Seafood Market.

“We had been in the industry together for a while and finally fell into something that we both really cared about which was Gulf Coast sustainability,” said Staub.

What they have in their case is all fresh from the Gulf.

Behind Alaska, Louisiana is the number two state for seafood.

That makes Porgy’s more than a fish market.

It’s a full-scale, slicing and dicing seafood show.
