Pat's Seafood Market & Cajun Deli — Restaurant in Covington

On the bright side customer service was good, just wish lunch was as it had been in the past. Poboy was not good. A large shrimp Poboy was $15, so you expect shrimp to be fresh and piled on. First it was the size of most small shrimp poboys and second it just did not taste good. Shrimp were over fried and done in a corn meal batter which is not typically done for fried shrimp.

10/15 count on the label. Priced accordingly. Actual results much less. Truly...

My boyfriend mentioned that the shrimp smelled bad but I argued with him about it because I was so excited for them haha! I know for sure they were not undercooked being that I cooked them for five extra minutes and made sure they were all curled up and pink. Although this may not fully be Pats fault, they definitely should know the difference in smell between good...
