Sushi, crawfish-stuffed peppers and more: Best things we ate this week

Crawfish-stuffed peppers, Bergeron’s City Market

Every option on Bergeron City Market’s daily menu looked tempting on a recent Friday, but I opted for crawfish stuffed bell peppers after thinking through what I probably couldn’t find anywhere else. It was a great choice: the crawfish filling was decadent and delicious. Though the seafood filling makes the peppers Lenten compliant, they sure don’t taste like a sacrifice. The green bean casserole and macaroni and cheese side dishes were excellent as well.

Sushi at Cate Street Seafood Station 

If you’re willing to make the drive to Hammond, Cate Street won’t let you down. Though, if you’re more of a visual learner (or eater), you’ll have to trust me on this one, as I was too hungry to snap a picture. The “Coco Loco Roll” from Cate Street includes coconut shrimp, avocado and snow crab inside. Then, the roll is topped with half salmon, half tuna, crunchies and sweet creme sauce. 

When I read this roll on the menu, it was music to my ears — I always go back and forth with salmon or tuna for sushi, so I was delighted to see that this roll had both. The Coco Loco roll was fresh, flavorful and filling. The pieces were the perfect size, not to big and not too small. 

Cate Street is a great place when you want something for everyone because their menu includes Louisiana cuisine, burgers, seafood and sushi. Overall, a 10/10 in my book.
