It is so surprising to me that such a small store, with a large assortment of seafood doesn't have any of that overwhelming fish odor. We got 4 lbs of fresh shrimp. This was only $20.00.

Whether it…read morewas fish to take home to cook, boiled seafood, fried seafood plates, or even stuff from their cold section I've tried a good bit. Last Friday I went and got 2 stuffed crabs(in the picture). Initially I was like $13 for the two scoops of stuffed crab seemed high but I know crabmeat is expensive. Right when I was about to pay for my food the hot crawfish came out so I had to get a taste and ordered 3lbs. My total was about $33. Prices are cheaper if you pay with cash (they list the price with cash and the price if you are paying with card) so I'd say bring some cash. The crawfish were good as usual and were a nice size. Other things I've had in the past that I enjoyed were the crawfish fettuccini, shrimp poboy, fried fish plate, and potato salad. There is seating available inside but it's not a big place so a big group would probably need to get their food to go. Also this is a pretty popular place especially on Fridays so expect to wait in line or you can call and order your phone ahead of time (which I usually do).

Really enjoyed the overall setting here. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, and the dining area is clean and comfortable. There is a nice variety on the menu, so there are plenty of choices depending on what sounds good. The food was satisfying and came together nicely, while the service was friendly and courteous. Nothing about the experience felt complicated or rushed. It was simply a comfortable place to sit down, enjoy a meal, and take a break from the usual routine. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. read more

This place is a hidden gem in New Orleans East. We don't have a lot of stuff still, since Hurricane Katrina, so this is a nice place if you want a really good lunch and fried seafood. They have a lot of different specials each day and the prices are pretty good. The waitresses are pretty friendly and I like to bring my family over for a meal out without having to drive to the city to get some decent food. read more

Casnet's Seafood did not disappoint! I had the fish and shrimp plate, and everything was hot, fresh, and seasoned just right. They use real catfish, which makes such a difference. The fries were crispy and golden -- perfect with the meal. The staff was friendly, and service was quick even though they were busy. Great spot for a good seafood fix without breaking the bank. I'll definitely be back! read more

The staff gave me a fair warning that they were spicy, and they were not telling a lie! The sizes were pretty average...not huge but also, not small. The spice level was HIGH...for me, too spicy. It didn't stop me from enjoying them but...it hurt, lol. The flavor was really on point. They put garlic which provides a sort of sweetness that contrasts the saltiness well. I believe they were overboiled just a bit because some of the crawfish broke as I was trying to peel them...it makes for a frustrating experience. But, the texture was still good. If they brought the spice level down, kept the exact same seasonings, and boiled them for exactly the right amount of time, they'd be perfect.

It contains a whole Turkey neck, pig feet, a whole link of sausage, corn, and potatoes that are all perfectly seasoned and bound to make your stomach smile. Most days you can just walk in and order.
