"Once a catering operation that gained a following with crawfish boils, Clesi’s is now an essential crawfish destination in Mid City. James Clesi runs the restaurant and the catering arm with his siblings, Carlo Clesi and Sonya Clesi, serving some of the best crawfish around — think citrus, pepper, and clove. As a bonus, you get to watch them boil. Searching for crawfish Uptown? Find this delicacy at Frankie & Johnny’s; on the West Bank, head towards Big EZ Seafood or J&J; and in the East, definitely hit up Castnet. Here’s a full list of spots boiling during the season." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
