The Catch Seafood Restaurant, Metairie

Louisiana comfort food takes center stage at The Catch Seafood Restaurant, a down-home eatery nestled between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain. Visitors to the restaurant choose from an aquarium's worth of southern staples, including blackened redfish topped with lump crab and seafood gumbo with a medley of shellfish and rice. If the menu proves too tempting to make a single choice, indecisive eaters can dive into the seafood platter, a high-piled assortment of fried delights.
