    Sorry to say this is close but not right… there is no crab in the fondeaux.. just crawfish tails, shrimp and blackened oysters… only the oysters are blackened. The spinach is whole leaf baby spinach.. otherwise this is pretty darn close!! And the type of cheese they put on top in Monterrey Jack Cheese! Only know because I worked at a Deaux for several years.. but adding crab meat would be yummy!!
