Seafood Dock At The French Market

I stopped by this place after seeing it featured in a YouTube video. The seafood tacos were outstanding, and I definitely recommend trying the food here if you're in the area.

The restaurant is situated in the French Quarter, featuring an outdoor patio with a counter and a separate oyster bar where they serve freshly shucked oysters. Unfortunately, I found the boiled crawfish lacking in flavor; I prefer them heavily coated in Cajun sauce or accompanied by my favorite dipping sauce. As for the oysters, they were decent but nothing extraordinary.

This restaurant is located in the French Market. With so many choices available, I decided to stop here when I noticed they offered fried soft shell crab, which I absolutely love and couldn't find anywhere else in the market. The crab was incredibly well-seasoned, crispy, and full of flavor. It was among the best soft shell crab I've ever tasted. My only issue was that the crab was on the smaller side; for $18, I really wished it were larger so I wouldn’t have left feeling a bit hungry. I didn’t take a picture of it since I devoured it right away, haha!

Get to this place early because a queue forms very quickly and there's a reason why. Reasonably priced, tasty seafood from oysters to crawfish. It's in the French market so don't order till you have found a seat (and those are hard to come by around lunch time). It's a free for all for tables. Only order once you've gotten a table as their platters are large and come out hot. We had the crawfish boil and the crab legs. 2lbs of the most delicious crawfish and crab legs. All for less than $50. We got to the French Market around 11am, got a table and were eating by 11.15. So it was more brunch than lunch! Walked around the market and then back to the French quarter by way of Cafe Du Monde by which time the morning crowds there had died down and we walked in and got a seat immediately!

Absolutely best oysters I've ever had! Service and staff was absolutely fantastic!
