My Brother's Crawfish

The Best Seafood in Portland

"This Cajun soul food spot located in a mini-mall on SE 82nd Avenue has earned its legion of superfans. The restaurant is known for its popular seafood boils, po’ boys, and fried or blackened seafood, which the restaurant will gladly smother in etouffee sauce. However, the restaurant’s crawfish etouffee — crawfish tail meat swimming in a buttery sauce of onions, peppers, celery, and garlic — may be the underrated hit on the menu. It goes particularly well with a starter of fried soft-shell crab." - Dianne de Guzman

"As the name suggests, My Brother’s Crawfish specializes in Cajun flavors and spicy seafood boils, but they aren’t too strictly Louisiana-focused to neglect the Northwest’s prize shellfish. Located in a strip mall on SE 82nd, My Brother’s Crawfish features Dungeness in Cajun-style crab cakes, or as the star of a build-your-own crab boil, featuring a choice of four broths and half a dozen add-ons — think: corn, red potatoes, Andouille sausage, and mushrooms. My Brother’s Crawfish is open for takeout or dining in." - Nathan Williams
