It might be untreated and I don't know wood but I'd hate to think what might be in that the plank lumber if it was Katrina salvage (is cedar harvested in LA?). Might be fine for shingling a house, not so much for cooking. If it were me I'd spend the few extra bucks on cedar with cooking as the intended use.
Like my83 said, towns in CT along the river have shad bakes and bluefish bakes every year and planking is popular. The Bluefish Bake in Essex has been going on forever and there are a lot of old timers who look forward to it every year. They haven't keeled over yet.
