3 Best Day Trips from New Orleans

"The restaurant brings in many of its guests with its famed thin-cut catfish. It is breaded and fried to order and is unlike any other catfish steaks you’ve likely tried, with elevated levels of crispiness and flavor. You can be a contrarian and order it cut the usual, thicker way, or you can go completely rogue and explore the soft shell crab or broiled shrimp options. Seafood restaurants in Louisiana don’t last unless they’re doing something right, and the thin catfish specialty has served this place well. It might be a one-trick pony, but it’s a trick worth driving out for." - Paul Oswell
