Seafood doesn’t get much fresher than this

There are plenty of ways to serve up seafood, but if you want something unique, packed with flavor, and that’s sure to please every time, Chris Shepherd has a few spots for you to try.

In this episode of “Eat Like a Local with Chris Shepherd”, Shepherd takes us to some of his favorite places for fresh shelled seafood like crawfish, crabs, and lobster.

The first stop is Crawfish and Noodles, which is where the Viet-Cajun style of cooking got its start in Houston. Shepherd sat down with the owner of the restaurant to learn about his family’s history and his path to creating a restaurant that goes way beyond crawfish and noodles.

The second stop in this episode is Crown Seafood in Houston’s Chinatown, where your meal goes from the tank to the table in minutes. It’s fresh, it’s flavorful, and it’s a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family.

And finally, Shepherd shows us how Hot & Buttered is putting their own mark on crawfish season.
