I don't see much about that place on here. I thought it was a Nola hot spot.

Almost 30 years ago, it WAS the hotspot. I had a very nice meal there a few years ago.

I have never had a bad meal there, and it isnt hard to get a table anymore like it used to be

Has the quality gone down? I remember 10-12 years ago it was very difficult to get a table there.

Some of the best fried oysters i've ever eaten was at K-Pauls in the FQ.

My wife and I ate at Charlie's Seafood a few days before Frank Brigtsen closed it. Frank was cooking that day. Had the fried seafood platter - oysters, shrimp, fish, etc.
The perfection of the frying of that food has never been approximated in all my 56 years of eating.

I'm gonna guess that the technique of Paul and Frank is pretty close. I fry a mean oyster , myself...

No doubt they did it the right way at Commander's.
You can tell he used different coatings for each type and I'm sure different frying oil as well. I would guess their frying time was less than most places, too. Frank's oysters had the texture of custard when you bit through the crust.
Care to share you tips?

Hot oil...360. Small batches...don't crowd the pot. I grew up on seasoned corn meal...salt, black and red pepper, and a little garlic powder...NEVER, EVER USE FLOUR...a 50/50 mix of corn flour and meal is okay though. When golden and floating, get them on a wire rack...an oyster will cook in well under two minutes.

And at the time, his "signature dish", blackened redfish, was $8.00 a plate. Last time I looked it was pushing $30.

gill nets for redfish were illegalized in 1995
i remember when you could go to the market and get redfish for $1/lb before the gill net ban. Now I've seen it as high as 15. redfish in restaurants is expensive now adays.

I believe that's the term.
That and no gill nets.

Ate there a couple of weeks ago for lunch. It was deli style where you ordered at the bar. I had the fried flounder tacos and Mrs wick had a smothered okra, tomato and shrimp dish. Both were pretty good but I would have preferred a waiter for the table...

Cornmeal only just like what Otis does. I taught him.
