Lawrence’s is an old-school shrimp shack on the Canal Street bridge that’s been open in Chinatown since the 50s. And Lawrence’s is all about fried seafood, which makes it a very particular place you want to visit. You’ve got to be in the mood, which is kind of a rule when it comes to eating a sh*t ton of fried crispy stuff. But when you are in the mood, Lawrence’s is a solid spot for getting yourself some battered sea creatures. Large fried shrimp are the specialty, but oysters, clam strips, popcorn shrimp, catfish, and more, are all appropriate moves. Don’t sleep on the seasoned peel n’eat shrimp either, it’s delicious. Just be aware, right now they’re carryout only.
