Frommer's Review
An easy drive from Mid-City and City Park (and a pretty one, down Old Metairie Rd.), this classic seafood joint is one of our favorite reliable spots. Don't expect ambience, apart from that of a busy family restaurant, but do expect terrific fried and boiled shrimp and crabs. You can get creamy pastas topped with crab cakes (the latter too bready for our tastes, though), or lump crabmeat on an enormous bed of fresh spinach, a fine option if you are trying desperately to still fit into your clothes when you leave town. They have daily specials that are always worth investigating, such as grilled lemon fish stuffed with crabmeat bordelaise and wild cards like blackened tuna Caesar wraps.
