Located in the heart of Harahan, Bobby's Seafood emerges as a cherished destination for those in pursuit of genuine Louisiana culinary delights.
This seafood sanctuary offers both aficionados and casual diners a chance to indulge in the state's rich flavors through its market-style presentation of fresh and expertly boiled seafood, alongside classic po' boys filled with shrimp, oyster, catfish, and even roast beef.
Bobby's is more than just a seafood market; it's a warm, family-operated gem where the essence of Louisiana-style cooking is celebrated daily.
The space is unpretentious yet inviting, prioritizing the quality of its offerings and the satisfaction of its guests over elaborate decor.
With its reasonable pricing and commitment to top-notch seafood coupled with exceptionally welcoming service, Bobby's Seafood stands as a must-visit spot for anyone craving an authentic taste of Louisiana, be it for a quick bite or a sumptuous Cajun feast.
My recent visit to Bobby's Seafood for their much-acclaimed boiled crawfish turned out to be a gastronomic success story. I got a hefty five-pound order, from which I meticulously peeled 136 tails, encountering only one questionable contender – a testament to the quality and care put into each batch.
This endeavor yielded an impressive 27.2 tails per pound, a figure that speaks volumes about the generous portions and the meatiness of the crawfish served at Bobby’s.
The fruits of my labor were twofold: two cups of succulent crawfish tails ready to be transformed into various delectable recipes and sixteen cups of rich crawfish shells, earmarked for a flavorful stock.
This not only promised future culinary delights but also showcased the value and sustainability inherent in my purchase, allowing me to maximize every ounce of my order.
Bobby's Seafood delivers on the promise of well-cooked, perfectly spicy crawfish.
The seasoning was masterfully balanced, offering that sought-after kick without overwhelming the palate or igniting a firestorm in your mouth.
It's a spicy equilibrium that enhances rather than masks the natural, sweet flavor of the crawfish.
My experience at Bobby’s Seafood was overwhelmingly positive, marked by high-quality seafood and the kind of hearty, flavorful meal that leaves you planning your next visit before the first has...
Read moreGiving 3 stars because of the awesome staff. They're always so friendly. However, the size of the fresh, (refreshed) shrimp seems to be misteptesented. I used to be in the wholesale seafood industry, and I think they, or their supplier is not selling the accurate count we're supposed to be paying for. Also, I dont expect something for nothing...really! But, the last two visits, (occurred since the new owner) I was buying 5 lbs of shrimp. The kind and attentive lady weighed out 5 lbs...exactly and it drained...while she weighed out the next customer's requested order. My drained shrimp now weighing far less than 5 lbs was quickly wrapped and bagged. The store was busy with waiting customers, so I didnt say anything about the under weight shrimp. I returned a few days after only because is closer to the house than Michael's Seafood. I needed more shrimp for what I was preparing. The exact same thing happened. Weighed and drained under weight purchase. Both purchases appeared to be smaller than 16-20 count I paid for. More like 21-25 count. Come on Bobby. You have to see it. Lanniappe isnt required, or even expected. But I do expect to, ( at least) receive what i pay for. I dont think I'll...
Read moreWOW....that is how I describe my experience with Bobby's Seafood. Their shrimp/ fish poboy was THE GREATEST. I haven't had a poboy in years and am so glad that my daughter recommended it. I appreciate that they do not skimp on the shrimp and fish and they have reasonable prices. Also, it is very customer oriented and has the friendliest staff who will recommend items to try when you are unsure about what to order. They actually make their own homemade onion rings, which my family raved about. At the cashier's urging, I also ordered an egg roll, which was a meal in itself. This egg roll tasted like a crawfish etouffee meal encased in an egg roll wrapper. They also sell fresh seafood, boiled crawfish, stuffed crabs and other items. To avoid the wait, which isn't very long, you can call in your order. This isn't a very large place but they do have a few tables where you can sit and wait for your order or just sit and eat in. I will definitely stop in again when I go the...
