Having been gone from Chalmette 25 years, it's great to see some of the places that were here before we moved are still around. I'm addicted to boiled crabs. Looking forward to crawfish season... read more

Soft shell crab with salad, delicious. Server was great. Price was great. I will definitely go again.

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

I've tried Today's Ketch before but I never tried their boiled seafood until this weekend. I had crawfish, 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. read more

Love the service and the people and the food is awesome. you're in there and out they don't. They don't work slow. They work fast.

This is a seafood market that serves fresh food. Friendly service and a small dining area make for a great local restaurant experience. We saw lots of take out orders being picked up. read more

Food is good. Prices are extreme compared to the rest of the places in St. Bernard. If you do go eat there bring cash or you will be charged to use your credit card. read more

The crawfish is delicious! The size of the crawfish was all relatively med - big, really great flavor(a bit on the lemony side), and service was fast. We went there & ordered 15lbs and they had it packed in a bag like we had ordered on the phone(but we didn't, to be clear). They have tables and chair inside if you need a place to eat your to-go order. read more

Portion sizes were enormous! Food was tasty. Service was fast and friendly. We split one shrimp creole plate, which came with fried shrimp, salad and a roll, and one 12" dressed shrimp Po'Boy. It was a lot of food, but we ended up finishing the entire Po'Boy and making quite a dent in the shrimp creole too. Would recommend this place! They also sell desserts and fresh seafood. read more

Always a win! Love the boiled seafood and the others! A great local restaurant with wonderful staff

Very short review! Tried their crawfish at the Crawfish Festival, and wow!! Talk about having the right amount of seasoning. If you're not a fan of spiciness but can enjoy seasoned crawfish, then these are perfect (and I loveeee spicy crawfish). The lemon really shines through as well. The corn and potatoes were also pretty good! I definitely recommend if you're in that part of town. read more

Great fresh seafood! They also make their own plate dinners! And if you need to fill a propane tank, they can do that too.

One thing I dread about eating in fish market that doubles as a restaurant, is the potential of overwhelming fishyness. Now before you come at me, I mean, there's a possibility there'll be not perfectly fresh fish, or they use a lot bleach to clean, or something that smells like you're on a dock. But, I can still do take out. This place, is very clean, no over riding fish smells, staff is super friendly, and you can tell this place is filled with locals. I had an Oyster Po Boy, fully dressed, 6 inch, and it was satisfyingly filling. Oysters were definitely freshly shucked, no hint of bitterness one gets from grocery store, and in the plastic tub. Fries and drink good. I'll stop by again next time I'm passing thru. Parking is plentiful and easy to access. They also do shipping of their seafood. read more

My 61st birthday is this weekend. To celebrate such events, My Beloved and I usually dine at a nice steakhouse - Cowboy Star is a favorite - or we enjoy excellent Italian food at Solare at Liberty Station. But I've been dieting, limiting myself to 1000 calories per day, which is to say, I can have a stick or a rock, but not both. So, when my bride asked where I'd like to have my special dinner, I thought not about the experience, but about the calories that our favorite places serve up. Then I decided that we ought to try something different. I'm a longtime fan of Gulf Coast-style boiled seafood - crawfish, shrimp and crab - especially as it's prepared in southern Louisiana. I often crave the spices used there, and I'm knocked out by the way that boiling works the spice in under the shell and bathes the meat with flavor. I am chiefly fond of blue crab. Not monstrous, tough king crab. Not Dungeness, which I find too dense to take spice well. Definitely not salty, mushy, scrawny snow crab, which is offered on all-you-can-eat buffets for a reason. Nope. I'm a blue crab man, born and bred, immoderately addicted to the hunt for small bites of firm, slightly briny and buttery meat, a crab at a time, all day long. At about 30 calories per ounce, blue crab has little fat and no carbs, and while it's true that crab boiled the way I like it is high in cholesterol and sodium, those aren't problems for me. In San Diego, I can buy live blue crab at the local Asian markets, in season, for about $5 per pound, which is double what one pays at the docks in St. Bernard Parish or at the seafood market in Westwego. Despite the price, I'd be happy to buy and cook my own crabs (I own an 80-quart pot with a basket for just that purpose), but the live blue crabs available in San Diego are tiny fellers, suitable only for flavoring a gumbo or soup. They're heartbreaking, if your heart is set on a substantial meal. An alternative is to have live crabs shipped from the Gulf Coast or the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake. I've done so, and find I lose 15% to 20% of the product, which raises my cost per crab and worse, leaves me short when it's time to cook. Of course, there are Asian-Cajun boil-in-a-bag seafood restaurants, but I think they're for people who've never had crawfish, shrimp or crab cooked properly. I eat that food, but as I do, I always feel a bit sorry for the shellfish; they deserve to die a more respectable death. Another choice, the one I made for this birthday weekend, is to buy crabs already cooked and have them delivered. This makes the price unreasonable, mostly due to shipping charges, but it gets me what I want. I'd stopped in at Today's Ketch a few times over the years, on my way back from fishing out of Shell Beach or Hopedale, so I knew their boil was good, and I'd read about their catering operation, but until last week, I didn't know that they ship out of state. After talking with similar operations in Kenner, Houma and Belle Chasse, I gave Today's Ketch a call. While I ordered over the phone, an exchange of just a couple of calls, I was struck by how patient the staff were. I'm not sure that they should have been so tolerant of my monkeying around with shipping arrangements, as I tried to bring down the cost of my birthday dinner. But the real surprise was that although they could have sent me small, scruffy crabs that were missing claws and were cracked along the back - you know, the ugly ones at the bottom of the pot - Today's Ketch boxed up 18 heavy and intact #1 Jimmy's, truly "pretty" ones, then laid in eight or so ice packs, strapped the box shut, and got them to my house less than 24 hours after they were cooked. It may surprise the uninitiated to hear that not all seafood boils taste the same, but it's true; the quality of the food itself matters, of course, but so does timing: time in the boiling pot, time spent cooling down and hold time after the boil. Too much or too little of one of these, and your shellfish will stick to its shell, or be tough to chew, or taste washed out or overly spicy, or something else disappointing to the people you're trying to feed. Quality is also found in the boiling spices: in the region, from one town to the next, even from one boil to the next, there can be variations in the flavors underlying the first hit of cayenne in the spice mix. Today's Ketch makes, uses and sells their own private blend of boiling spices, which I enthusiastically recommend. Finally, and not for nothing, the gorgeous crabs they sent were delicious, but my recent experience with Today's Ketch was more than just a meal or a financial transaction. The folks that helped me - especially June (my first contact) and Mandy (who handled my order) - treated me like a good, regular customer, a friend, reminding me why I enjoy the time I spend around Chalmette, and locking me in as a customer when I'm in da parish and as a customer by phone, every birthday or so. read more

Clean. Easy parking. Friendly staff. Busy place. Prices just ok. Had the roast beef poboy and it was sloppy, which is good, but I was really distressed in the meat...could have been better. The roast beef was thick slices like it was cut from a deli. Not slow roasted or tender. My friend has the shrimp poboy which was a little better. Not the best place to grab a poboy! read more

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT. If i could do a negative star i could. Staff is so RUDE and CURSING us out. insulting us saying we are trashy and bitches for asking to have our food warm.

We got COLD crawfish and when we asked to get it heat up and they refused to help us. They said there was nothing they could do. Owner came out refused to heat up our food refuse to refund us before everything else came out. So unprofessional. Also pulled out a non active duty batch and threatened us. read more

I heard this place had great crawfish, so I drove 30 minutes to see if that was true. I have admit, these crawfish were perfectly cooked. None were over cooked, they had a slight spice to them with hints of lemon flavor. I loved the potatoes. The corn was pretty spicy. I was sad they did not offer garlic, but I really loved the sausage they had. One of the best crawfish boiled sausage, I think I have ever had. I also bought a stuffed artichoke and it was truly OVER stuffed and very good. The service was great as well. It is set up like a seafood shop where you purchase your food at the counter. There were a few tables inside if you wanted to dine in as well. They even had some desserts like slices of cake, pie, brownies and cookies that all looked tasty. Very much worth the trip. read more

Always first quality, fresh seafood available. They have an impeccable relationship with local fisherman in the area. We had a dozen number one male crabs boiled 2 pounds of shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage, mushrooms, all the trimmings. They serve them with a dish of garlic butter. We also split a shrimp and oyster plate. We had a craving for fried seafood. We also talked to several Items Home, they were a Famous, shrimp, dip, stuffed mushrooms, gumbo and crawfish fettuccine. The staff is friendly and courteous quick on our feet Jeff and Terri the owners are always present and vigil. They definitely on top by their restaurant and servers. I highly recommend to anyone for a great meal a great source for fresh seafood to fill your freezer boiled broiled fried you name it they got it with a whole host of all the delectables to temperature palette. Also ready to eat meals to dine in or go. read more

This is a very busy seafood joint in da parish that offers fresh, boiled and fried seafood. They also have some nice items like crawfish pies and specials like crawfish bread and artichoke bread. The crawfish bread is actually more like a crawfish pie and actually better than their crawfish pie. The boiled crawfish and shrimp is alright but still not up the the maximum level that Big Fisherman brings to dominate that niche and remain king of the boil. The fried food entrees are generously sized and come with a nice selection of sides with the crawfish fettuccine seeming to be the most popular one. I am pretty grumpy that they add sausage to their seafood gumbo as I demand all seafood in my seafood gumbo if I'm going to eat it. Overall this is the prime spot for seafood in the area and it often has the line of waiting customers to prove it. read more

Do not waste your time here. Food is trash. Cashiers are rude. Please go somewhere else. Smells like piss.

Lots of variety of food to choose from, in addition to their lunch menu and boiled seafood. Reasonable pricing, very pleasant staff and a lot of staff always on standby ready to assist. Today's Catch is always ready to reach out to the community during an emergency and does not expect anything in return. read more

The freshest seafood. You can literally see it coming off the boats in the back parking lot. Also, this family owned business can cook! I mean I haven't had anything I don't like from them. They are primo. Today, my bf and I ate for less than $40 (including tip). We had shrimp, catfish, jambalaya, potato salad, soft shell crab, shrimp, and crawfish étouffée. Plus unlimited fountain drinks and two bud lights. The wait staff is friendly and consistent. I've been coming here since before Katrina (approx. 20 yrs), and it never fails to leave me wanting more. But not really Bc the portioning is so generous, I always have some to take home. read more
