Suggestion where to eat seafood in New Orleans

We are looking for suggestions where we should go to eat seafood for lunch and supper. We will be staying at hotel near the port and convention center. :)

Acme....it's an icon!

Thanks for the suggestion, I just checked out their website and it sounds wonderful. We will definitely check it out! :)

Acme is for tourists. If you want an unforgettable meal, go to brigtsen's for a world class meal. Of course, there's Commander's Palace for a classic dining experience. Some of out favorite French Quarter places include NOLA and K-Paul's. All of these require reservations. IMO, skip Acme - nothing special. And if my other recommendations are too pricey for you, try Pascal Manale's.

These sound good I will add them to my list! Thanks....:)

Gw Finns has really good shrimp, loved my meal there!!

Dragoos, it inside The Hilton Riverside. They have the best Charbroiled Oysters ever. They also have Lobster and other seafood. You won't be disappointed.

Galatoire's.

The Gumbo Shop on St Peter in the Quarter. Locals recommended it years ago and both tourists and locals love it. Been eating there over 20 years. Introduced it to my husband for his birthday 15 years ago and now we have to eat there once if not twice every time we go to NOLA.

Last time I was there- in March- my uncle took me and my sister to Deanie's on the corner of Iberville and Dauphine. Their crawfish 3 ways was excellent.

what is this like?

I was wrong. It's Crawfish 2 ways ( the crawfish duo plate). It's a platter that come with fried crawfish tails and crawfish etouffee and both were delicious. I was remembering wrong because I got that and my sister got the Crab Duo plate and we kind of shared. That one has crab dressing balls (like a crabcake hushpuppy) and crab au gratin, which was probably one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life. We went on a Tuesday and there was about a 15 minute wait or so but it was very much worth it.

When we were in NOLA in February, Antoine's had special lunch deal - 3 courses for about $18. PLUS They had 25-cent martinis! Each day it's a different martini (the day we were there it was a peach martini), and while the size is not large, there is no limit. So, for a buck you could get very "happy."

Where is Antoine located.... sounds like a deal I can't resist.

Antoine's is at 713 St. Louis Street. Near the intersection of St. Louis & Royal Streets.

Thanks

I am a big fan of Drago's, either downtown or their original Metairie location. Great char-broiled oysters and lobster dishes for supper.

For lunch I would go with Acme Oysters, Felix's Oyster Bar, Mother's Restaurant, or Deanie's Seafood.

Love Acme Oyster House for seafood. They also have an awesome roast beef poboy dripping with gravy. You can also try Johnnys Poboys for great fried shrimp poboys. Deanies gives large portions, but we have gotten spoiled crab there. Do not recommend it.

I agree, Acme is overrated. If you want lunch, try Commander's Palace. They have lunch specials so you can have the famous food for 1/4 of the price. Keep in mind there is a dress code even at lunch.
