Schaefer & Rusich Seafood

Soooo I can't wait for crawfish season to return! I love everything about this place and everyone is so nice.

OMG!!! This must be the best crawfish and shrimp in the city. Potatoes, corn, everything you could want were amazing. And the shrimp mold, WOWA MUST HAVE. Very clean. Doesn't stink like some. Highly recommended

Everything was wonderful and fresh. They just was putting a fresh batch when I got to the counter. No matter how busy they were today the service was amazing. The staff was friendly and good of energy. I wasn't rush. The lady who took my order really took there time with me. Everything was so DELICIOUS. Packed with tones of flavor. I'll say this is WAY better than the previous time I visited here

Always the best and only place I go to get my crawfish whenever I visit New Orleans! The Boiled Crawfish is the Best!

This is a five star seafood market if every there was one!!I have been a customer of Schaefer's for years and don't know what I'd do without them. From the prices, to the fresh seafood, to the prepared dishes - it's all so perfect!Their shrimp are always priced very reasonably and they are always so fresh! They offer several sizes, so they have you covered whether you are frying, grilling, boiling, or using them in a dish. They also carry live and boiled crawfish and crabs. If you don't feel like doing the boiling, let them at it. They do a fantastic job!Make sure you give their prepared foods a try. I believe that their stuffed artichokes are the best in the city, and I've tried just about everyone's. They make corn and crab soup, potato salad, stuffed crabs, crawfish pies, tartar sauce, and all sorts of other really tasty New Orleans goodness. I swear, they cook like your me-maw did - if she was a fabulous cook. They also carry the necessary extras like crawfish trays, fish fry, crawfish boil, Bunny bread, cooking oil, hot sauce and the like. They have a bunch of goodies in their freezer too - check it out.Please give them a look-see the next time you are craving seafood.

After eating a bunch of crawfish in the area, Schaefer's has been our favorite. The $30-ish dollar 10lb crawfish special with some new potatoes and some corn Is a great takeout meal. Cash is slightly cheaper than card...just FYI. The "spiceyness" wasn't over the top like some places and the crawfish were much easier to pull/eat (so probably fresh & cooked well. Been in New Orleans for a few months and got this meal the last two nights in a row. If you want to experience some area crawfish & the season is right then this is the place to get some & carry home for a win.

The best seafood around. Always fresh and cooked ready to eat.The service, is ready to serve whatever you'd like to take home and enjoy. It's the only place I get my seafood.

Have been getting my seafood here for decades. Seafood always fresh and quality. Have good competitive prices. There's usually a line but they work fast and are friendly. A great New Orleans fresh seafood establishment.

Horrible not what they were previously. Finished with them. They have become so commercialized locals are no longer acknowledged.

I've been an on and off customer for decades buying boiled crawfish from Schaefer's, but I've decided to go elsewhere from now on. The same thing keeps happening over and over again. The crawfish are seasoned very well, although no better than several nearby competitors. I would keep coming, except that more often than not I'm buying about 10% waterlogged celery INSTEAD of crawfish. This has been going on since I can remember. They have to know what they're doing. I just bought 10 lbs. and am including a photo of the large bowl of celery that was mixed in. I paid for 10 lbs. of crawfish but got 9 lbs.I've boiled my own crawfish for decades as well, and I've done it with and without celery. You really can't tell the difference, but if they DO think there's a difference, they can simply put the entire stalk of celery in the boil and remove it afterward so that they are not weighing heavy, water-soaked celery along with crawfish. It's no different than buying shrimp and getting ice thrown in while they're on the scale. If Schaefer's stops this practice I'll be back, but NOT UNTIL THEN.
