Louisiana Seafood Exchange

I'm from Jefferson (the first suburb on the immediate west side of NOLA) and when I'm home visiting, Louisana Seafood Exchange is literally a short walk from the house. Yelp has this listed more like a restaurant, and it's definitely not. It's where you go to buy the freshest uncooked seafood in the city and then take it home and make beautiful things happen with it. This company has 3 locations in S. Louisiana and each is basically a shipping facility that has a retail store in the front. Everything they carry is the freshest possible and they're happy to sell you a pound or a thousand pounds. The turtle meat, frog legs, and alligator tail are especially good. They also have literally every fish that can be found anywhere. The staff here are just so friendly and accommodating. If they're sold out of something that day, they'll be really nice and hold some of it for you from the next day's catch. If you're in a hurry (or just lazy), they'll even be super nice and boil the crawfish you buy. If you need cooking ideas, they'll always help you out. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember and I've never had a bad experience. Everything is the best quality, fresh, and everyone that works here is so pleasant. The place isn't fancy, but it's extremely clean. Prices aren't dirt cheap, but seafood prices never are. Definitely do your seafood shopping here. I can't possibly recommend Louisiana Seafood Exchange highly enough.

I have no idea if this place is good place to get seafood! However I was on I-10 in the Lafayette area 8-1-2019 when one of there trucks cut me off and then several other vehicles as well including at double tractor trailer! Totally irresponsible and to top it off there was no license plate on the truck. If the business is operated like the truck was being operated doing anything with them would be scare!
