Soft shell crab po' boy

Saw one of these on a cooking show and was wondering if anyone knows of a restaurant in NOLA that serves them.

Just about every restaurant that does fried seafood will do fried softshell crabs. Literally hundreds (and more hundreds) of dining establishments. It might be harder to find a restaurant that doesn't have soft shell crab on the menu.

 

I'm sure three will be other posters that may have suggestions on specific restaurants. But, as stated, there are plenty. It's not a secret of a certain eatery.

Deanie's, 841 Iberville Street. I can't think of another place in NO that does better fried seafood.

 

It looks touristy but is completely local.

Had one two weeks ago at Stanley's (corner of Jackson Square). It was delicious!!

Just an fyi - this place is cash only but really good - Muffalettas (1/2 size is enough) are great for people who don't like seafood.

 

Also - Deanie's is excellent for any seafood. Been there many times and even had our rehearsal dinner in a private room there when we got married last year. No one was disappointed. :D
