We were looking for a lunch place to get some seafood. The location is not where we usually go but based on yelp reviews, we decided to try it. We were skeptical because the menu looked pricey and you don't even get fries with a $20 large shrimp poboy. We were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. I always like to have leftovers to take home. I ordered a "cup" of seafood gumbo no. Now, you'll see in my photos that even bread is extra. The gumbo was great! Not so skimpy on the seafood like a lot of places. It has a good amount of spice too. Next was the poboys. We got a small shrimp (overflowing) and a fish poboy. These were also an ample size. The bread is on another level-best poboy bread I've had. read more

A hidden gem for seafood lovers in New Orleans. Hidden away in a dark corner of a strip mall is this small restaurant operated by a husband & wife who cover all staffing needs. The seafood is fresh and of good quality prepared into tasty dishes. The gumbos were delicious. The blackened redfish with lump crabmeat was awesome and perfectly spiced. The fried shrimp poboy was well overstuffed and enough for two to share. The other dishes we watched being served looked very appealing as well. The wife was working hard as waitress, hostess, cashier and cleaner. Still she was pleasant and attentive though busy. Husband was busy in the kitchen so we didn't see him but the food he was preparing showed his skills and attention to details. If you're looking for a nice seafood meal in the lakeside area, find this place - you won't regret it. read more

Great home cooked food. Husband/wife owners are so welcoming and accommodating. The food was so good! Great hidden gem in Metairie

I went in today for lunch. I was never given a menu, never acknowledged, never anything....I waited 10-12 minutes. Then, the waitress said hello and began talking to a party of 3 who had come in AFTER me. I stood up and left. read more

The Catch Seafood Restaurant - Fried oyster poboy and french fries - Seafood Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This is a little bitty hole in the wall place in the corner of a strip center with one lady run in the front of the house and I think one Cook in the back but they do a great job. The onion rings are fantastic. Fried shrimp are good. It's just an all-around down home, New Orleans style seafood dive, and I really like it read more

The Catch Seafood Restaurant - Looks - Seafood Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

A gluten free southern girl's dream! Most of the fried foods are Celiac safe gluten free. And they are delicious and fried to crispy perfection! And this might be the only place in the GNO where I've found gluten free fried mozzarella cheese sticks. Even their dipping sauces are amazing. The owners are kind, professional and consistently delivery a positive customer service experience. I've visited with gluten eaters who are just as impressed with the food as I am. So I highly recommend! read more

Great value. Good food. Great Service And good "to go" hot food and on time service. We will order again Thanks for your attention to detail! Gluten-free option is SPECIAL!!! read more

Wasn't the friendliest welcome but I went there for the food and it was worth it. The shrimp were kinda disappointing, but the catfish was hot and delicious... read more

The fried fish is fresh, plentiful, and prepared perfectly. Large portions. This is a husband and wife run business. Service is friendly and efficient. read more

Amazing small batch restaurant run by a wife & husband, very fresh seafood and love put into the food definitely check this place out 100/10 highly recommend read more

I've been meaning to leave this review for a while! I visited this restaurant twice over the last month. Both times I ordered to go orders right after the restaurant opened. The restaurant was packed both times but I received amazing service. The food is great and I will come here routinely for the quality but the service is what really grabbed my attention. The employee who served me the two times I came in was so patient and kind despite having a packed restaurant and waiting room. It speaks volumes to be able to provide quality service during a rush! She was excellent! I also love the GF options! read more

the food may be good but the owner is not a nice person. I went in to order a salad to go and was told by the owner she is NOT taking any food orders to go because too many people came in at once. This is not the first time this has happened. If four full tables is too much for you to handle, hire some help! Never again. read more

I had never heard of this place and only stumbled upon it because a family member can only have gluten-free items. This restaurant has a rather extensive gluten-free menu that are marked by "**" on the menu. I ordered the redfish special with crawfish cream sauce and crawfish tails on top of pasta. It was delicious! My wife ordered the seafood nantua and it was also very tasty. I would recommend both of those if you're in the mood for pasta. For appetizer, we ordered the buffalo shrimp, cheese bread, and crawfish fritters. In hindsight, the cheese bread was not that good, but the other two items were good. Overall, this was a solid restaurant. The service was fabulous, and they were very accommodating to multiple dietary restrictions for our table. Lastly, I didn't get to try the seafood gumbo, but I heard it's delicious. They don't make the shrimp until you order the gumbo and they make it on the spot as you like it. read more

I had a party of 6 walk in today. No one acknowledged us, gave us a menu, or even a glance. The waitress walked past our table multiple times helping other customers. I mean atleast a "I'll be with you in a minute" would have been nice. Completely ignored. I then checked the reviews and seen that this a normal treatment to customers. This was probably the worst treatment I've ever gotten at a restaurant. We ended up walking about. read more

I am celiac and their gluten free seafood platter was something I have not tasted in 20+ years!! I have found my "heaven on earth"!

Once again ... I can't say enough good things about this restaurant The food is excellent ... especially all the Gluten Free items ... our grandson can not eat anything containing Gluten ... and he absolutely LOVES their fried shrimp ... he will eat his whole basket and finish off mine too! Never had any issues ... Every time they visit from Colorado ... this restaurant is an absolute MUST ... No long wait time and food is always fresh and hot ... my husband says it's the absolute BEST fried oysters he has even eaten!! Service is top notch and always friendly ... if you haven't tried them ... you are missing out!! read more

I will definitely update this review as I try more menu options, but, for now, I think it is appropriate to review their Seafood Pasta Nantau! I ordered this through UberEATS after a craving for a creamy pasta dish. I was a bit skeptical about ordering the dish because of the crawfish tails with it being the off-season for those. However, I took my chances... Boy, am I happy I decided to take my chances. The pasta was really good and the seafood, itself, did not taste frozen or weird. The sauce is seasoned well, not too thin and not too thick. The actual angel hair pasta was cooked perfectly. Oh, and they're not skimpy on the seafood! I had lots of everything and the shrimp were medium-large. I am excited to try more menu items. The picture I've posted does this dish no justice. It was not too greasy either! read more

The Catch Seafood Restaurant - Seafood Pasta Nantua. Delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Don't waste your time. Been here 3 times at 130 and they've been closed. Way too many other options.

Fresh seafood and it's owned by a couple. I've only gone here a couple of times, but those times were delicious. I would recommend this place for lunch or take it. read more

We sat down for lunch at 11:35am on Friday, 12/06/24. The waitress never even acknowledged our presence. We waited for 15 minutes and walked out. I realize they have limited staff, but I still expect the decency of a human telling us hello, it's going to be a while, can I bring you a drink while you wait... read more

Absolutely the best onion rings I've ever eaten!! My husband got the seafood platter and fell in love with the crawfish his puppies!! I had the shrimp po-boy and it was the best I've ever eaten!!! The friendliest service as well!! Don't pass this one up!!! read more

The phenomenal food and service....sweet couple owns this place! Very good!!!! The onion strings are incredible! The poboys are also wonderful! read more

I can't frequent an establishment who only operate a few hours a day and leave before stated time.

Just ate lunch at The Catch Seafood Restaurant! Had a shrimp poor-boy overflowing with shrimp! Seriously enough shrimp for 2 poor-boys! Served hot and delicious. Onion rings were homemade- crispy and scrumptious! I need to go to The Catch more often! read more

What a great service,I made pickup but placing the order (uber eats) I left a note saying that because of some health issues with my hubs..if they could,I wanted the shrimp po boy with boiled shrimp..and when I went there the first thing they told me was that,they did it. For me,that type of service means a lot. We loved it. I'm not a fan of deep fried fish but their fish po boy was really good,not gishy,not greasy. Good. The boiled shrimp was really well seasoned,great portion as well as the fried shrimp (gluten free,corn meal) lots of shrimps,really good,I see myself craving this and the fish as well. Onion strips?always. It was really good,not out of this world but good.The gumbo,I loved it. I'm not from LA so I cant be a judge but for me was so good,we ordered it low seasoned and it was perfect,lots of seafood (kudos) and the potato salad,simple but also on point. Overall I loved it,the food,the service,the prices and the quality. Reccomend it. read more

Today is December 15, 2022. I was looking for some seafood. I arrived a few days ago. When I went up to the door it was locked and the sign posted closed. I looked at the hours of operation (on the window) and it read 1130 A.M. until 4:00 PM. The time was 3:52 PM. The two workers (assumingely the cashier and cook) were in the restaurant. I went back to my car to assess and look for another restaurant. At 3:55 PM the two came walking out of the restaurant. They had to pass my parked vehicle (with New York state license plates) to get to their cars; so I asked, 'what time do you all normally close'? The cashier said, 'at 4 o'clock'. I replied, 'it is not yet 4 o'clock'. The cashier kept walking in different to my question, and the cook scarfed and laughed. Then the two of them got into their cars and drove off. I chose this restaurant because it was rated 4.5. But after the poorest of customer service experienced, along with the scarfing and indifferent attitude, I would never visit and would NOT recommend to others. I very rarely write reviews, however, I think it's important that you know, especially if you're not a local and come in from out of town. The restaurant is near the airport. read more

We had heard good reports about this hidden away restaurant. The restaurant is actually hard to locate even from the parking lot as it is in a recessed corner. Finding the restaurant, though, will be particularly pleasing. On our first visit we tried BBQ Shrimp. It is somewhat different from the type you get in most restaurants in New Orleans, but it was excellent and enjoyable. We also tried the Gumbo. OMG what a treat. This is not your normal okra gumbo, but probably closer to the gumbo found in Southwest Louisiana using a very nice roux sauce and lots of great seafood. Photo is attached. The seafood included Shrimp, Crabmeat, and Crawfish. Very delicious. The owners were the staff and the attention was excellent. Pricing is very fair. We will definitely be back! read more

The Catch Seafood Restaurant - Seafood Gumbo 12/2020 - Seafood Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I rarely eat shrimp, if ever, and i had a craving for a fried shrimp poboy on Good Friday after work.... upon walking in, i was greeted by one lady that was standing behind the counter; soon as i walked up to the counter i was greeted by another lady. After confirming my order, the ladies recommended fries or Onion strings. When i asked their opinion, with no hesitation they suggested the onion strings so i agreed to try... THE best shrimp poboy i ever ate. Was fresh and the onion strings were amazing !!!!! Not only was the food good, the service was effortlessly friendly & i appreciated the small talk. I def can't wait to bring my BF to try this place & not to mention it's 5 mins away from where i live! read more

The Catch Seafood Restaurant - Shrimp poboy with Onion strings - Seafood Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Delicious gluten-free fried seafood. I greatly enjoyed my fried shrimp salad and onion rings. My kids also loved their food.

I would give it a five except for the general decor and ambience. The catch is located in an obscure strip mall off of Cleary Ave. It's in the back next to a bar. I would not have gone other than someone had mentioned it to me. I'm glad they did. The food is exceptionally good. Probably one of the best traditional seafood restaurants in the metropolitan area. Good value for money. Great attention to detail and the quality of the food. Since I have gone the first time, I have been a repeat customer, bringing my friends and business associates. I intend on returning in the future as long as I keep up the good work. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to go and treat yourself to traditional New Orleans seafood. read more

Hubby and I ate here for a late lunch today. The food was delicious and the service was great! Especially loved the fried shrimp and onion rings. read more

Great food and great service. Blackened redfish is Rocking. Consistently good everything I've had here was great

Food excellent. Wait time & service excellent. Quiet, semi-dark atmosphere but clean & safe. Easy parking. I recommend the fried catfish, the crawfish sauce, the potato salad (really wonderful). They have gluten-free & vegetarian options. Check hours because I think they are trying to stay open longer. read more

Blacken snapper pasta is DELICIOUS! Don't be fooled by the store front view. Pasta dishes are good good!

The crab boil would have been great but whoever decided to put a cup of salt of the food should put the salt down. It was just too salty.

The service was great! Even though she had 7 tables in her own. She kept everyone going with refills on tea and helping them with their orders. Not to mention people coming in to pick up. The food was delicious!! The fry on the oysters was perfect. This was a very enjoyable meal. read more

Fantastic food if you have the time. Got there about 12:30 on a Friday. One waitress. Maybe 6 tables full and 4 or 5 empty. Took 10 minutes to get menus. Another 5 for water. 20 more minutes to get appetizers (Buffalo shrimp and Crab cake fritters) Another 15 to get salads. From the time we walked in, it took a full hour for the entrées to be served. Waitress was gracious and apologized for the long time. Apps were good. Entrées were fantastic: redfish special and trout plate So like I said: great little seafood place if you have the time to enjoy a leisurely lunch. read more

We were looking for a place for New Orleans style seafood before dropping my mom off at the airport and The Catch popped up on Yelp. What a great little place! It's easy to miss; we almost didn't go in because it looked closed from the parking lot. I'm so glad we did! We started with the BBQ shrimp appetizer and it did not disappoint. It was especially nice that we didn't have to peel the shrimp. For our entrees, we had the seafood platter, the blackened redfish fillet with lump crab and the seafood pasta nantua. All came with huge salads and All were fabulous! On a side note, the chef is very accommodating. I have an autoimmune disorder that makes eating anything spicy extremely painful. I wanted the blackened redfish...without the blackening spices. He was able to grill the redfish with just salt and pepper. The lump crab sauce was light and bright - even though it was creamy, it wasn't heavy. Absolutely perfect! I greatly appreciate their willingness to make the adjustments without any fuss. Our waitress checked on me several times to make sure everything was fine and I was ok. read more

Seafood Done Right Here's a place that has their stuff together. After reading the great reviews I wound up trying it out. I ordered the crawfish fritters, seafood gumbo, and shrimp poboy. Let's take it from the top. The gumbo here is delicious and the seafood is prepared fresh that goes into the gumbo according to the spice you like: mild, hot, extra hot. Unlike many other places the seafood that goes into the gumbo like the lump crab meat, shrimp, and crawfish tails does not sit simmering on a stove all day where it eventually disintegrates from being overcooked. Here the seafood is prepared fresh, then placed atop the gumbo. The gumbo roux, despite that, has a good seafood flavor. Next the crawfish fritters: balls of stuffing with crawfish tails incorporated in it then battered and fried; served on a bed of chopped lettuce with a side of remoulade sauce. It's a tasty appetizer worth trying. Finally the fried shrimp poboy: perfectly fried battered medium sized shrimp on a toasty poboy bread. Not the popcorn-sized shrimp over battered like in some other places, which renders the sandwich a fried batter ball sandwich with unrecognizable shrimp particles. No, not here. This is a juicy, plump fried shrimp poboy, perfectly presented on crispy, easy to bite into poboy bread. Don't miss this seafood adventure that boasts of both great food and service. read more
