The Best Spots to Splurge on Seafood in New Orleans

"This recently-opened Freret Street restaurant does not limit itself to the traditional bounties of the Gulf: There’s lobster from Maine on a warm, tarragon-laced lobster roll; chargrilled mussels from Prince Edward Island; steamed Atlantic clams in a curry broth; and raw oysters from three coasts — most from the East and West coasts, with only one or two varieties from the Gulf. Plump, substantial octopus tentacles are grilled to tenderness, and jumbo scallops from the North Atlantic are seared in crab fat. The clamshell vessel and accouterments for caviar service follow a theme of sea creature-themed decor dotted throughout the ship-like space." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
