🇺🇸 New York - Cajun seafood boil at Cap’t Loui in Koreatown
·1 min read
Saturday 15 November 2025, in New York. The day before I’d tried my first lobster roll at Cap’t Loui in Koreatown, and I came back for what I really wanted to test: the Cajun seafood boil.
Seafood boil, Louisiana style
The idea comes from Louisiana: the seafood is cooked with Cajun spices, then everything arrives at the table in a big bag, tossed in the sauce. Forget the cutlery, put on a bib and eat with your hands. It’s generous, nicely spicy and nothing like what you eat in France.
Cap’t Loui is a stone’s throw from the Empire State Building, right in the heart of Koreatown. If you’re in New York and you love seafood, it’s something to try at least once, ideally wearing a T-shirt you don’t mind getting dirty.
