As stated - the "Holy Trinity" is always sauteed (not fried) before being added to dishes. And a roux is definitely not fried; however, there is a lot of oil involved.
While there are lots of fried food available, there are also lots of grilled, baked, roasted and braised options.

I am one indeed. When I left New Orleans in 2007, my friend and I walked from my hotel to catch the train to New York in the morning, with our luggage rolling behind us! I love the towns where I don't even have to haul my stuff on a bus, let alone pay for a taxi. Some of my notoriously stingy ancestors must have been smiling down from the heavens.

Nice report!
It's a shame you felt overloaded with fried food in a city with so many options to experience authentic Creole cooking, a very unique cuisine NOT centered around frying. With all of the amazing restaurants in New Orleans, I blame the tour company for that. They should know better.
Like other posters, some of my best meals have been in New Orleans, and I've yet to have anything fried. I will echo others in saying that neither the "holy trinity" nor the roux is fried.
