    I actually wasn't gonna post this pic, but it's so beautiful! Fish and shrimp plate with double fries!

    Food and service is always good here. It's like a little reunion because you run into people you know and family whenever coming here. The food is not as seasoned as it used to be, but it's still good. Love to grab food here and a snowball next door. I used to walk here as a kid and it feels nostalgic every time.

    A select grade crawfish. Awesome!!!

    Amazing food! A newbie for this place and the staff are helpful, friendly and accommodating. Ordered a dozen raw oysters, seafood combo and at another side , 6 pounds of select boiled crawfish. Delicious!!! Will definitely be back.

    We love getting a sack of oysters from here to shuck at home with friends and family! We got some fun topping to eat them raw and charbroiled, although they're good with just a little lemon spritzed on top too!

    Seafood Always fresh as usual, but I got a lot less thank what I used to on my plate. My daughter and I are usually able to share a plate but I only got 1 piece of fish. The service is always quick and restaurant always clean, but the serving size definitely changed. Plates are skimpy but price isn't!! Definitely had to grab a big shot while there

    Always packed, fresh seafood, great fried food and definitely worth the wait. Homemade cocktail is a plus!!

    Hands down my favorite seafood anywhere on the planet. Kent started it and has made it a neighborhood fixture since 1988 but today, 6/21/2025, marks his retirement! A very nice gentleman by the name of Drew came and met us and he and his wife have bought from Kent. It's bittersweet but the fact that the heartbeat of this New Orleans East fixture is still beating and will continue for many years to come makes me very happy. Best wishes to Kent on his retirement-scary though it may be- and best of wishes to Drew and his wife on continuing with this wonderful place. We look forward to many more years! Came today and got the fried shrimp plate, added a catfish filet and it was fabulous as always. Also picked up some raw fish and shrimp to take home in our makeshift cooler. (Heineken box with a trash bag and ice ). Good luck and best wishes to all involved!

    I've lived in the parish most of my life, so I've purchased food from here for years. 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).

    I've tried Today's Ketch before but I never tried their boiled seafood until this weekend. I had…read morecrawfish, snow crabs, shrimp, corn and potatoes. Everything was really good and flavorful. The seafood had a nice flavor without being too spicy. It wasn't spicy at all to me but it did have a little kick. The service was really good as well. We almost forgot our snow crabs but they made sure we got them! I know where to get some good boiled seafood now.
