New Orleans Seafood Restaurants

I'm from Maryland so used to crab shack type dives where you throw newspaper on the table and go to town with a pitcher of beer. I'm having 2 fine dining outings with family so have that covered. Mainly looking for good oysters and whatever else might be in season, crabs, crawfish, etc. Thanks for all the suggestions. Anyone know if Acme's is worth checking out or is that really touristy? Oh yes, the humidity. I am originally from CA and cannot stand it. I thought MD was bad but NOLA has us beat in that department for sure!

Thank you both so much, that's great help. I can't wait to gain 20 pounds this weekend!

New Orleans Seafood Restaurants

Hi all,

I'm going to be in New Orleans this weekend and am having a hard time finding a decent looking seafood restaurant. Any suggestions for good places that are not total tourist traps? I won't have a car and will be staying right outside the French Quarter. I'm okay with a bit touristy as long as the food is good. Hoping for a casual spot to relax, drink and eat a messy pile of something raw, boiled or steamed. Thanks!
