I'm headed back home for a few days and would like to get a good soft shell crab poboy. Any recommendations?

Not exactly in season... anything you have would be frozen, watered down version of softies.

Not true. Several local shedding operations are producing softshells....not everything is frozen right now.

R&O has a soft shell parm bo boy

R&O is overpriced compared to other local restaurants - try The Galley for soft shells, maybe Mandina's too

The Galley is more overpriced than R&O's! Harbor Seafood in Kenner is the way to go.

I disagree - R&O's portions are smaller compared to the Galley, and they don't always have soft shells

I do find I spend more at The Galley; but their boiled shrimp are my faves, and they have killer crabmeat au gratin.

Have not personally had one myself yet but heard that Stanley (at Jackson Square) does an unbelievable one. Not cheap, like $14 but worth every bite.

Two Tony's has a softshell poboy and a sofshell crab platter. I have heard about R & o's softshel parm poboy as well.

When in season, which usually starts sometime in March according to the Louisiana Seafood promotion folks (although I have not seen many soft shells around so far this year), the best place to get a soft shell in a sandwich is Casemento's. Not exactly a po'boy...but just darn good.
