| - I've always been a fan of Hot N Juicy even though I'm allergic to shellfish (nothing Benadryl can't fix). It's laid-back, service is great and the food is simple but fantastic. It's always busy...packed with locals and tourists. We go here a lot especially around lent. If this location gets to crazy-busy, there's another one a few blocks away.
They have oysters, mussels, crab legs, lobster, blue crab, clams, shrimps, and of course, crawfish. With the exception of the lobster, you order shellfish by the pound. You can pick the seasoning you want: cajun, Louisiana style, garlic butter, lemon pepper and hot n juicy. Pick your spice level: less than mild, mild, medium, spicy extra spicy. Pick your sides and appetizers. You get a bib and you could ask for a pair of gloves because it'll get messy...you don't want to ruin your manicure, do you? I do away with gloves since I like to lick the juices off my fingers when I eat here.
I'm not a big fan of crawfish because you it's too much work and you get a teeny tiny bit of crawfish meat. I always get less than mild garlic butter...either crab legs or lobster. Hey, if I'm going to have an anaphylactic reaction, I might as well make it count.
Don't take your date here unless you've been together forever. Or maybe you can test-drive your date to see if he/she's down to get dirty. The garlic smell lingers...on your breath and hands no matter how many times you brush your teeth, gargle and wash your hands. After a day, you should be good to go.
