Casamento's..........

glassman, i absolutely love fried oysters. it's by far my favorite type of poboy and one of my favorite foods across all genres. I ate at cassamento's once last year for the first time and thought it was simply the same as most(dont get me wrong it was certainly at or near the top as far as quality...other places i have in mind Parkway, mahoneys, Kjeans, Chimes[BR]) other places that serve fried oysters here in nola. i know the prestige of the place, but am i missing something more? and by the way regardless of your answer i will be going to check it out again so i guess that's an answer to my own question...oh and do you know if they switched the vendor who supplies there oysters or location that the oysters come from? or did i screw up by getting fried oysters when they really specialize in oysters in some other kind of way? help me out my fellow food fiend!!

Just thinking about fried oysters is a glorious day....

Casamento's fried oysters are number one.

Their fries are very underrated....fried stove top in oyster grease...finished in the broiler I believe.

I agree with everything you say regarding the oysters. They also do a marvelous soft-shell crab, when they get them.

However, am I the only one silly enough to have ever ordered the fried "trout" on thier menu? I got it last year, and it was one of the most horrid pieces of fish I've ever gotten in a restaurant. There's also no way it was speckled trout (I suspected frozen tilapia, but didn't have the heart to ask).
