This is it – the place that singlehandedly defines Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Tony’s Seafood is a massive market, offering an expansive variety of foods, spices and other products, but specializing in the freshest seafood. They have it all – alligator, duck, frog legs, rabbit, turtle, crab, crawfish, lobster, oysters, shrimp, scallops, drum, catfish, garfish, redfish, salmon, snapper, tilapia, tuna, and more. The farm-raised catfish are on display in a massive tank. If you don’t feel like cooking, that’s okay – the cafeteria-style lunch buffet has everything your heart could possible desire. For the rest of time, Louisianians will be arguing over who has the best crawfish; however, in Baton Rouge, the debate is virtually settled – with a reputation of selling up to 50,000lbs of crawfish in a single day, Tony’s takes the prize.
