The 11 Best Seafood Restaurants In New Orleans - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"When you want to eat New Orleans-style seafood that’s better (and half the price of what you’ll find at touristy spots in the Quarter), come to Deanie’s on Hayne. Focus on the specials—last time we visited we had the crabmeat-stuffed redfish served with squash and salad for around $20. The seafood platters are also always a winner, especially since they’re totally shareable with heaping amounts of fried shrimp, catfish with stuffed crab, oyster patties, and onion rings. Throw in a few schooners of beer and any of the desserts and you’ll be joyfully stuffed. Say hi to Maw Maw Deanie if you’re there on Thursdays—the original owner hangs out in the casual dining room, and might even come up to your table for a quick chat." - megan braden perry
