Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen (5011 Pan American Fwy. NE) impresses with a dozen Texas Gulf Coast oysters embedded in a mountain of ice. Desert Fish (4214 Central SE) owner Tessa Zemon offers a seasonal range of 30 or more kinds of oysters from the Pacific Northwest and stocks up to eight varieties on any given day for lunch and dinner. The menu often features Fanny Bay and Kusshi oysters from British Columbia, Miyagi and Kumomoto from South Puget Sound, and Snow Creek and Penn Cove from North Puget Sound.There are only five species of oysters harvested and eaten in the Western world—Atlantic ( C. virginica ), Pacific ( C. gigas ), Kumamoto ( C. sikamea ), European flat ( O. edulis ) and Olympia ( O. conchaphila ).

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen stands as a bastion of seafood excellence. With its roots deeply planted in the rich traditions of Southern cooking, this establishment offers a menu that sings with the flavors of the Gulf. The ambiance is one of refined comfort, inviting diners to linger over dishes like the Mississippi Catfish Opelousas, smothered in a decadent sauce and crowned with fresh crabmeat.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen is one of those spots where the atmosphere hums with energy the moment you step in. The dining room fills with the scent of spicy, buttery Cajun cooking—think New Orleans with a desert twist. When I last visited, my table disappeared under platters of shrimp, blackened catfish, and that legendary gumbo packed with plump seafood.

Pappadeaux is the restaurant on this list that has withstood the tests of timetim better than any of the others. Established in 1976 and passed down through the family, it is still owned by the original owner’s grandsons today. And if the charming family story isn’;t enough you can also find some hearty portions of New Orleans style seafood here.

I think they are better than The Cajun Kitchen and until Ralph and Kacoo's decides to open an ABQ location ( as in never ) , it's a place to get your Crawfish Etoufee fix.
