We also had the fried whole flounder which was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of breading. Plus we got the boiled crawfish and shrimp. My favorite boiled crawfish in Houma is at The Shack. Spicy, but not too spicy. The Shack really does a great job with boiled seafood.

All food was solid. Seafood gumbo was particularly good. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through town. For any Midwesterners, you may find the potato salad a little bland. Was expecting a bit more but it was okay. Next time I would skip and get a different side. Most locals seemed to order 1/2 pound of boiled seafood.
