A local institution for more than 55 years, Deanie's Seafood in Bucktown is the original location of one of New Orleans’ favorite seafood enterprises. Deanie’s is recognized among the best seafood restaurants in New Orleans noted for its Giant Seafood Platter, boiled seafood—including crawfish, shrimp and blue crab—New Orleans barbeque shrimp, Louisiana oysters, seafood gumbo, and more. Deanie's is one of a handful of restaurants with its own seafood market adjacent to the restaurant, the first seafood market in this quaint fishing village on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain and one of the first to sell boiled seafood in New Orleans. One of the most enduring names of New Orleans-style seafood, Deanie’s is a “scratch-house” known for fresh Louisiana seafood prepared using authentic housemade recipes and Deanie’s signature Creole seasonings. Located in Jefferson Parish, the restaurant hosts the Pinch A Palooza Crawfish Eating Contest & Festival each spring.

We've been coming to New Orleans for years, and Deanie's is always a must-stop on every visit. Their char-broiled oysters are, hands down, the best we've ever had anywhere. We usually go to the...
