Although there are many spots in the French Quarter to get a seafood boil, there are only a handful that explicitly specialize in the format, and there’s about to be one more. According to permit filings with the City of New Orleans, a company called Hot n Juicy Boil House is bringing a full-service seafood boil restaurant to 910 Iberville St. The company has filed for a liquor license, and the planned restaurant would take over the space from the former Mahony’s Po-Boys & Seafood. What Now New Orleans has reached out for comment.
A seafood boil house in this part of The Quarter would likely face stiff competition directly across the street in the form of Deanie’s Seafood. That restaurant has the rare distinction of being both popular with the French Quarter tourist throngs and having the respect of many locals.
