Seither's Seafood in Harahan has a poboy menu loaded with five award winners from the Oak Street Poboy Fest.
Why it matters: Chef and owner Jason Seither knows what he's doing.
What I ordered: The award-winning sushi poboy ($17) and the home fries ($6).
- The poboy was overstuffed with snow crab salad, seared ahi tuna, avocado and sauces.
- The server gave me silverware, but told me I can also dig right in with my hands. "Choose your own adventure," she said.
- I worked my way through some of the toppings with a fork before I was able to close it to eat like a poboy. It was unconventional, but it worked with the fresh seafood and the spicy, sweet sauces soaking into the bread.
Fun fact: Seither's celebrated its 20th year in March.
The vibes: The restaurant has picnic tables and covered seating in the parking lot. There's a small indoor space too.
- It's a chill place to go for a meal with friends and family.
- I went just before sunset and enjoyed my poboy while listening to a bluesy-folk band on the restaurant's outdoor stage. People around me ate platters of boiled crawfish.
