"Frankie and Johnny’s is an old-school neighborhood seafood house and tap room serving all kinds of iconic New Orleans dishes — gumbo, po’ boys, chargrilled oysters, red beans and rice — since 1941. During crawfish season, however, the covered front porch, kitschy bar area, and side picnic tables are full of folks enjoying boiled crawfish. This is where to enjoy them Uptown; if you’re in Mid-City, hit Clesi’s for flavors of citrus, pepper, and clove; 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
