Boil Seafood House

"Boil beckons seafood lovers to its spacious, family-friendly dining room or balcony overlooking Magazine Street with a sprawling menu covering crawfish, crab, shrimp, lobster, mussels, and clams. There are also oysters here, easy to forget, and they’re on special during happy hour offered from 3 to 5 p.m.: Raw oysters are $5.95 for half a dozen; and $11.95 for a dozen." - Clair Lorell

"Boil sits on the bustling corner of Magazine and Louisiana with a menu that includes the once-elusive Vietnamese-style boiled crawfish. Hieu Doan, who just opened sister restaurant Hieux Boil in Mid City, is behind the restaurant, which serves crawfish, crab, shrimp, lobster, mussels, or clams with Vietnamese, Cajun, garlic, or Caribbean flavors, plus diners get to choose how spicy they want their seafood." - Eater Staff, Clair Lorell

"Love this locally owned gem on Magazine Street, with its creative approach to flavored seafood boils. BOIL Seafood House excels at all things seafood, including offering a dozen oysters for $16. With its Viet-Cajun approach to flavor, diners can order a choice of seasonal seafood that includes local crustaceans and mussels, Dungeness crab and clams. Then pick a sauce, ranging from a fruity Caribbean blend to Cajun or garlic butter and select the spice level, from low to three alarm." - Beth D'Addono
