New Orleans Seafood
Thanks to one of my readers, Bill Petrosky, who sent me an email the other day tipping me of this new seafood/po’boy place in Duluth. It is located a few doors down from What The Pho and Cafe Tohdamgol. Opened just two weeks ago by a Vietnamese family, it is really more of a seafood place than an eating place.
As a seafood store, they only have a few basics as of yet: shrimp, fish fillets (tuna, salmon, catfish, tilapia,) scallops, crab legs, mussels, and craw fish. I did not see any fresh oysters in the cases but there are fried ones on the menu.
As a take-out joint, they have lunch specials with fried catfish or tilapia, shrimp, and oysters with two sides that start at $5.99. Po’boys start at $3.99 with a choice of shrimp, catfish, tilapia, oysters, sausage, or calamari. They are sandwiched between a fresh loaf of Vietnamese baguette then dressed with mustard, mayo, and butter, then topped with lettuce and tomatoes. I love the butter part!
The Fish-N-Shrimp lunch special comes with 2 fish fillets and 7 jumbo shrimp. The fried catfish is delicious — clean taste (not muddy). Shrimp are peeled and de-veined. Both are perfectly dusted with Cajun seasonings, very lightly battered, then fried golden.
There are two tiny tables and a total of 4 chairs if you care to eat-in. I only came in for a quick stop but I will be back tomorrow to learn more about this place and try the po’boys. I will let you know how that goes.
Insider tip:
Everything is cooked to order so be ready to wait a good 10 minutes for your food.

This looks good. Is it in the same strip mall as What the Pho?

Yes. A few doors down from WTP.

[...] New Orleans Seafood is charming, in its own way. I’m delighted that Chow Down Atlanta found this restaurant, as there really is nothing like it anywhere near Snellville. This is a small [...]

This place is one of my favorites… I am from New Orleans and I can go here and feel right at home. Love the food and the service. Wish it had seats but oh well it is a great take out location.

Next to Copeland’s of New Orleans, it doesn’t get any better then this. The patton hot sausage poboy is excellent. Being from new orleans, and knowing how we like our food cooked, this place is on the map.

This place is gross. They have a B Health Department grade. The po-boys in no way taste or look like an authentic New Orleans po boy. I ordered a hot sausage po boy dressed and was asked if I wanted butter on it! I was confused. The gumbo taste like a Chinese soup…yuk!

I started going here soon after they opened and have been a fan ever since. I even went so far to start reccommending them to some of my co-workers and they are addicted to the wonderful food that is prepared here. I usually get the shrimp on french dressed, that’s a a po’boy, with a side small gumbo to wash it down. Great taste from home and I really love this place and encourage others to drop by if you’re in the neighborhood.
