An anomaly on a tourist-trap street, this small, nautically decorated restaurant delivers what it promises. The menu offers Cajun dishes (po’boys, blackened catfish) and a robust rotation of specials. There were a few misses—crab claws were bland—but steamers, lobsters and $2 oysters (especially the Japanese varieties) are reliably good. Finish with a slice of key lime pie.
