The Blue Crab - Review - West End - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"It’s fun to be eating fresh seafood right where people have gone fishing and boating for generations. That’s what it’s all about at The Blue Crab. The space is filled with fish photos and art, along with huge windows that overlook Lake Pontchartrain. And there’s awesome fried seafood and fish cooked any way you want. The buttery meuniere has our heart, and there are some really good lump crab cakes. The things that aren’t from the ocean are also great, like cheese biscuits, freshly made onion rings, and a wedge salad that comes with bleu cheese ice cream (yes, you’re reading that right)." - Megan Braden-Perry

The Best Oyster Happy Hour Specials in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Buck-a-shuck oyster deals are few and far between these days, even in New Orleans. But Blue Crab, one of a handful of seafood restaurants right on the lake that offers solid, fresh, and no-frills seafood, is a rare exception. In fact, raw Gulf oysters go for 90 cents a piece during Blue Crab’s happy hour, which runs Tuesday through Thursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m." - Clair Lorell
