| About: | The Crab Shack (and it truly is a shack!) serves up good, plainly cooked seafood, not on a white tablecloth but on oilcloth with plenty of extra utensils to get you cracking, picking and fishing meat out of shells. There is serious seafood-eating going on here, and shellfish fans make a beeline to this spot when the crab craving hits. You choose from seasonal entrees, Smoked Mullet or Salmon if you're not up for the crab cracking effort. Iced tea and beer are the favored options. |

True local spot. Not for everyone, you have to dress down. But the food rocks! Try the mullet spread and you will not regret it!
Don't be fooled by the exterior...: It really does look like a shack and when we saw the place we debated about even going inside. I'm sure glad that we did. This was the BEST seafood in the area. We went during the lunch hour and it was packed. We knew the place must be good since it was so busy. The waitress was very friendly and prompt. The interior was a lot nicer and cleaner than the exterior appears. Try the peel and eat shrimp if you go there... they're awesome!
Great seafood, terrible seating: I'm the type of person who prefers a bit of personal space when dining, but when this place is busy you'll end up with strangers at your picnic table. and it's busy often because the fish dishes are always excellent - red snapper and grouper are my usual choices. Fried shrimp are recommended, too. It really is a shack, but who cares when the food is good. Trappman's market next door is the place to get some fresh-caught fish and crab for your next meal at home.
