Bucktown/East End was, from the beginning, a fishing village and picnic area. In later years it was most noted for its seafood restaurants. Below, this tray full of freshly boiled crabs was destined for a table at Swanson’s seafood restaurant in 1949. (Courtesy of the Jefferson Parish Yearly Review.)
