Market Wego

Stopped here while camping next door at the state park. The andouille and gator sausage is excellent! We took it home and made jambalaya for a family gathering and everyone asked where they could buy the andouille. Some of their items are available for purchase on line which means I don't have to sit for another trip to NOLA to restock!

Before going on an Alligator tour right outside of New Orleans with my friends, we decided to stop here to grab some water and something to eat. This place is pretty low maintenance, but still good nonetheless, we stocked up on water, Gatorade, grabbed some Alligator bites, and boudain balls. (We all felt like Beyoncé eating Boudain in the Parking Lot. Lol)Tbh the Alligator bites and boudain balls were so good we had to double back and pick some up before heading back to our Airbnb in New Orleans.

Great market with all the po boy options. Can buy and grill at home also. Delicious gator bites and other cooked meats.I came here after a swamp fan boat and had a great lunch. Would recommend stopping in for a bit or pickup some meat to grill at home!

My first taste of reptile! I've had bison and buffalo meat before but this was my first taste of alligator meat! I was hesitant but I needed to try it. Taste like chicken! no wait... taste like pork? quail? hmm... it had an interesting taste and texture and it's juicy and chewy but overall pretty good. Husband will not have any of it so he waited for me while I finished my alligator stick. LoL! Mmm...This market is located in one of the best seafood markets in the New Orleans area. They offer a wide variety of seafood and meat. It is not your regular Safeway market. LoL! They also sold stuffed artichokes, fried okra, alligator sausage, andouille sausage, boudin, alligator and crawfish sticks, oyster plates, fried fish, turkey necks, as well as po' boys and homemade cracklins and several grocery items. If you want to sample the local Cajun cuisine, come here. It is a market and they have very small seating area inside and two picnic tables outside. Plenty of parking in an old, gravel parking lot shared with the Westwego Shrimp lot. Seems to be a popular place among locals and tourists! We came here after our swamp adventure tour.Review #1491

This is a cool little store/bodega/hot food place with no frills (really...no frills). It's kind of divey, but not in a dirty way. It's in a little area of stores and shacks where you can buy fresh seafood right off the boats from that day. Anyway, I ordered a fish po boy and fries, but I also picked up some spicy boudin, andouille sausage, and some cracklins. They also have frozen stuffed chicken, frozen rabbit, tamales, and other stuff. The po boy was good, and fries were browned just as I asked for. There is plenty of parking, it's pretty small in the store, just 2 or 3 small tables. A good place to get a bite for lunch or pick up some stuff.

Good meat & great customer service. Def will be back when I visit NOLA. Alligator meat/sausage was really good

This is the only place here to get food to eat. I want to give a 3.5 stars bc their service was really good for a mom and pop shop. You get entrapped with the smell of freshly smoked andouille homemade sausage! It's being smoked right outside. Definitely deserves a 5 star for flavor! If you want to eat in store, it will be on a stick and tossed into the deep fryer. We ordered two types of fried plate dishes since they did not have a combo that included fish, shrimp and oysters. At $16, we expected more than 8 pieces of oysters that were breaded with fish breading and fried. It came with fries but you can tell it was old fries. Not sure why tho since it was right about lunch time. Our fish and shrimp plate was even sadder. Our shrimps were like micro shrimps. It was definitely the $2/lb shrimp that you get from the market right outside the store. Super super tiny you almost thought it was crunchies (like from long johns). The fish was good. It wasn't over cooked, nice crunch texture. We got 4 pieces of fish and just a small handful of the tiny shrimps. Again...fries...undercooked and old. I did order the crawfish sausage with green onions! That was delish. Not overly salty...right texture and of course it was on a stick and deep fried. My mom really liked it and bought the smoked cold version to go. The cracklings were super super hard. It was almost inedible bc of the texture and of the enormous amounts salt seasoning. I'm sure it was the bottom of the barrel. It was disappointing! Overall, yes to the sausage, and yes to the fried fish. Ask for extra crispy fries next time. But that's it!

This place is AMAZING!!! The alligator sausage cooked outside is to die for. Wash it back with an ice cold Strawberry Abita. We were lucky enough to hang with the owner for a bit while he was cooking on the bbq! Super nice guy! Go Support his business! Wish I could have bought even more stuff to bring home and cook! All the meats look great! Will be back in the future to try that crawdad sausage!

Unfortunately Market Wego was disappointing. My co-workers decided we wanted fresh Louisiana seafood, and what better place than a seafood market with all types of fresh caught fish and shrimp... well it FAILED! Staff was friendly but the platter was such a let down. Tiny shrimp that should be used in a salad or dressing, NOT FRIED! Fries were bland should have been sprinkled with salt. And the French bread wasn't disappointing because it was never included in the plate. Too bad the location is great and it has so much potential! SMH

Cute spot would definitely come back. Old school fish market with true Lousiana vibes
