CastNet Seafood

The following is a bit of New Orleans reminiscing by Sarah Speer:

I have just a small case of nostalgia after the trip to New Orleans. I remember the time SnowCloud's group ate at a small, hole-in-the wall place called CastNet Seafood after we had just gutted out a house and wrapped about a 1000 antique collectables. The savory aroma of pork roast and shrimp, crawfish po-boys lingers in my mind as I think about the tiny room where we placed our orders.

This particular restaurant seemed to take the concept of “fresh” to heart. For instance, Group SnowCloud waited patiently for food when a group of men came in. Hungry and looking like they had been working hard, they crowded around the counter to get their grub. All of a sudden, one of them let out a tremendous yelp. His companions burst out laughing, for what had startled him was crawfish positioned at the doorway. Evidently it had stretched out its claws to a bypassing leg. Whether done intentionally or not, the men all agreed that its aspiration in life was not to be thrown into a pot of boiling water.

Not only did we taste authentic, southern food, we also experienced authentic, southern friendliness. A great example was when Kevin noticed the staff at CastNet wearing a bright, red hat. He thought aloud, “Cool, I would love one.” The staff member then disappeared and brought back not one, not two or three, but three visors and three baseball caps with CastNet Seafood on them.

So Oregonians, if you're ever in New Orleans, I would highly recommend CastNet Seafood where you can receive friendly smiles, tasty food, and authentic, southern crawfish. Alive or in your po-boy.
