SLIDELL, La. (WGNO) – Our journey to find some of the best seafood in our area lands at Slidell Seafood.

Photographer Ed Matthews spoke owner Brad Thibodeaux and he says they’re all about “Fresh seafood… we have our own boats. My brother crabs, my dad shrimps, my brother shrimps. We catch our own stuff. We bring it to our stores and sell it.”

We spoke to a number of satisfied customers, and even managed to run into celebrity Jacob Landry, of the show Swamp People.

Landry’s company delivers fresh crawfish to Slidell Seafood daily. According to Landry, “Every year people think it’s tradition for the price to go up and the price to go down, and it all depends on supply and demand. With the amount of crawfish that’s out there today on the market, the rice is where it needs to be. It went up a lil’ bit but it’s where it needs to be at.”

Many of the customers we ran into were getting all the fixings for the Easter weekend.

Slidell Seafood is located at 1001 Gause Blvd W, in Slidell, LA. 70460
