A Little Snippet of Hook and Reel's History

Picture this - I’m in Lanham, Maryland and I come across this charming seafood joint known as Hook & Reel. Founded in 2013, this place is a seafood lover’s heaven. It hits close to home with its authentic Louisiana cuisine. We are talking about cajun heritage in the form of crawfish étouffée, shrimp creole, gumbo, and much more. And let me tell you, their bar is nothing to brush over. With classics like Hurricanes and Sazeracs, it's a stunning tribute to the Big Easy.

Alongside their scrumptious seafood menu, they also have some delightful Southern favorites. Gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, you name it. And for the more adventurous foodies, give their alligator tail a try. Be it spicy or mild - it is bound to have you captivated.

The Exotic Taste of Cajun Boil

Welcoming immigrants from France and Canada, Louisiana cuisine showcases its rich cultural diversity with dishes like the Cajun Boil. A traditional Louisiana dish packed with boiled crawfish, shrimp, potatoes, corn on the cob, and sausage or ham - all seasoned with various spices and seasoning.

The best pairing with such a hearty dish? Garlic bread, my friends. The crawfish heads are still on after boiling, allowing you to peel them easily once cooked. You can eat them whole or savor each individual tail - it's completely up to you.
