Read Seafood

Ok so… The crawfish was good but they weren’t juicy how I would have liked them to be but the were delish. Plus potatoes n smoke sausage!!! Yum yum.

I ordered the catfish plate with mac n cheese and salad. When they say a catfish plate. People, that’s what the heck they mean. Catfish galore! ! I enjoyed my plate. Was $ 10 and sone tax. I also got some crawfish and corn, smoke sausage, and boiled potatoes. Was so good. I am coming vack mainly for the catfish on a friday. So good! My seafood was good too. My corn and potatoes was good, and my crawfish was nice, hot and spicy just the way I like em!

Well seasoned crawfish that’s not too spicy. It is perfect for those who don’t like the runny nose with burning mouth feeling. The crawfish were a bit pricey and small but that’s not unusual for this time of the year. This restaurant seems clean with pleasant staff, who speak English. *smiles*

Tried out Read Seafood today while in town for work. The overall quality of the food was good. I have the boiled shrimp, corn and potatoes. The flavor and seasoning was near perfection with all of my dinner. Not too much and not to little. I would have to say that the shrimp were a little tough but not unbearable. That’s the only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5. I would recommend.

Really liked it! I had the roast beef the first time, mostly because I’m new to seafood and dont love it yet, but someone else in my group had the shrimp and I had a bite and LOVED it, so that’s what I got the second time. Both the roast beef and shrimp were awesome, as was the sausage that I had a bite of also. Very good food. Would definitely return. I traveled to NOLA with some natives and this is one of their favorite places — for good reason!

Amazing food! This small spot in New Orleans east never cease to amazing me… The cashiers are always politely swift and always have your orders correct! The food is always… I mean always fantastic! Enjoy !

Good crawfish, turkey necks & seafood. Not too spicy… Just right. Will revisit.
Cashiers are swift, honest (I saw 1 give back too much money to a customer), accurate & efficient.
I noticed they serve hot plates as well, but today was a CRAWFISH day.
They have quite a bit of traffic inside & hanging outside. (reason for 3 stars & not 4).
Despite being located on a corner lot, parking is chaotic.
Crawfish price was relative to the market.
Definitely a place I’ll revisit.

We go to NOLa annually and usually try to keep it local whether its a nice restaurant or a hole in the wall/Mom&Pops type place. We were driving around the neighborhood of a house we were working on, when we saw this place — it kind of looked like a liquor store. What drew our attention was the active/​busy line of locals going in and out, some licking their fingers (no joke.) So we had to pull over and try it. For seafood — this place is our absolute favorite! The Gumbo, the boiled variety of seafood, the PoBoys — my mouth is watering thinking about it. The Chinese plates are delicious — fresh and sizzling right out of the wok… my only complaint is that everything is so delicious and smells so good (hits you like a Zatarain dream when you walk thru the door) its really difficult to choose what you want to feast on. Prices are so good — its easy to just choose everything

Still have good seafood and pretty decent po boys for a reasonable price. Love the Yaka Mein. Local spot not to far from Interstate 10

Wow… it’s been about 5 years since I have been back… but I found myself having a massive craving for this seafood yesterday! (Maybe because of the fact I am living in a desert and cannot find fresh seafood!!) The best seafood in N’Awlins! You have to have the shrimp and crawfish that are prepared by the pound! Great flavor and addicting! I could spend all day peeling though these shellfish shells! Run and do not walk to this small fishery when you are in the Big Easy! :-)
