| - When you pull up outside of the Cajun Seafood Corner, you feel like you are about to enter the Cajun Playtime Corner - the storefront certainly does nothing to reveal the beguiling bayou dishes inside.
The decor is reminiscent of any number of Cajun eateries found in New Orleans: Mardi Gras beads and masks hung lovingly on anything stationary, remnants of an old pier, plastic seagulls, fishing nets, and many colorful beer and liquor ads.
But you didn't come here for the ambiance, you came her for Cajun!
Begin your sensory journey into the swamps with any one of the Bayou Teasers such as the Cajun alligator or Cajun frog legs. (one tastes like fish, one tastes like chicken)
The appetizers start at $4.95 for Fried Okra and go up to $11.95 for a dozen oysters.
Chomp into some Poboys such as the sauteed alligator served wth tomatoe, lettuce, pickle, onion, and their house Cajun sauce. These come with a delicous basket of Cajun Fries wwhich are hot, fluffy, crispy, and dusted with Cajun spices - amazing with their house aioli.
House specialties include Cajun shrimp, Crawfish boil when in season, étouffée, Cajun pasta, seafood jambalaya, gumbo, and blackened catfish. Prices start at $8.95 and go up to $45.95 for the five pounds of crawfish boiled, cooked with andouille, corn, and potatoes.
The Seafood gumbo is worth the visit, and was truly transcendent. Hearty, cajuned, and packed with plump shrimp, mussels, scallops, chicken, andouille, okra, and rice - it brought me back to the bayou.
The crawfish etouffee was also notable, with a rich creamy cajun sauce packed with plump and juicy crawfish - not to mention the portion was very generous for the $8.85 price.
Live crawfish are used here when in season, and the time is now!
Daily happy hour is from 2-7p, Happy hour appetizers start at $3.95, Domestic beers at $1.75, and drinks at $3.00.
