Located in one of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina, the 7th ward, Zimmers Seafood is up and running. And the neighborhood, dotted with FEMA trailers, needs it too. From the marinated crab salad to the fried shrimp platters to the plethora of overstuffed poboys like catfish everything has to be ordered to go from this modest spot. Onion rings and French fries can compliment any meal. Boiled seafood is also on the menu – crawfish and shrimp, whichever is in season. Don’t forget to add a side of potatoes and corn. The market also sells fresh fish.
