Wikipedia says, "po boys consist of meat, usually roast beef", this is
their first sentence describing a po boy. I have been to many
restaurants and roast beef po boys are not on the menu, the exception
being Acme Oyster House and Maspero's. Most restaurants that serve po
boys will have shrimp, catfish, crawfish and oysters.

We went to this restaurant Saturday and you will notice that roast beef
is not on the menu.

For an appetizer, we had Parmesan crusted oysters, George had the
Alaskan Halibut with Jumbo Crab and I had the Costa Rican Tilapia
Lafayette.
