Bevi’s Seafood Crawfish Boil

Location: New Orleans, LA

A Crawfish boil is the quintessential New Orleans food experience – it’s messy, spicy, down home and generous. The gulf is known for its seafood, as a way of life and the heart of the local cuisine. But the beauty if crawfish is their seasonality. They flood the market in the Spring and early summer, and virtually disappearing after that. 

Of course, crawfish should be eaten as fresh as possible, but the seasoning is also sacred - while some people make their own, the classic way to go is a big ol’ bag of Zataran’s creole seasoning. It’s salty and hot, with paprika and cayenne in the mix.

We asked around and found the go-to spot for a crawfish boil was, and all signs pointed to Bevi’s. Order at the counter and claim a spot at the high top tables. Roll up your sleeves, and it’s each man for himself.
