Perino's Boiling Pot

The owner of Perinos Boiling Pot, Sam Perino has been in the seafood business nearly 40 years. Perinos Seafood opened its doors in Harvey, LA right across the street from the current Perinos Boiling Pot in 1972. After growing out of the smaller location, Sam hada vision of moving the seafood business into a much larger and updated location in 1992. Sam Perinos Seafood & Deli is located at 6850 Westbank Expwy. Marrero, LA. Sam had a vision of opening a simple seafood restaurant, just boiled seafood and oysters on the shell. In 1994 Perinos Boiling Pot opened its doors in the old seafood location. Business was booming and the Boiling Pot quickly outgrew its small location. Across the street was a vacant building that had been several unsuccessful restaurants, the deal was good and Sam jumped into it. After 2 months of remodeling, Perinos Boiling Pot opened its doors Superbowl Sunday, January 2000. Sam expanded the menu to include boiled and fried seafood. It stayed simple a t first but quickly grew as did the business. Sams daughter Vicky is the all-around manager of the Boiling Pot handling all aspects of the business.
