"Vietnamese influences shine in rich Viet-Cajun seafood dishes at Bluewave Seafood, and it’s almost impossible to choose from a robust selection of inspired plates. The Viet crawfish bowl, which is filled with spicy crawfish, potatoes, lemons, small pieces of corn on the cob, garlic heads, and whole oranges, is a fine interpretation of a dish that’s become synonymous with springtime in Houston. Cajun edamame, Manilla clams cooked in a house sauce, grilled cockle clams with garlic butter, and cua lột — the restaurant’s deep-fried soft shell crab — are all delicious demonstrations of the East Asian nation’s aptitude for cooking with the jewels of the sea." - Kayla Stewart
