The Tasty Crab

We offers a diverse range of juicy seafood, including shrimp, oysters, blue crab, snow crab, crawfish, clams, mussels, Dungeness crab, and lobster.

All of our seafood is sold according to weight. Once weighed, the crabs and other seafood will be mixed with the restaurant’s famous sauce and served in steam bags. Instead of the traditional methods of using a knife and fork, hands are applied directly. The restaurant will provide gloves, bibs, and other “tools” upon request. The finger-licking goodness of Mr. and The Tasty Crab seafood will leave a lingering flavorful taste in your mouth!
