EXPERT TIPS BY: Beth D'Addono
New Orleans Local Expert

Crawfish, Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus: "Every meal at Superior Seafood needs to be prefaced by a sampling of the the char-grilled oysters. They are loaded with butter and parmesan/romano cheeses and are absolutely to die for."

Best for Crawfish Because: Superior Seafood offers dine-in and take-out boiled crawfish in season.
Best for Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus Because: A popular spot for all kinds of seafood, Superior doesn't leave its gluten-free customers out of the mix.
