The Crab Shack in Gardena's Gateway Plaza offers flavorful seafood dishes, including fried fish, shrimp, and oysters, seasoned well and presented nicely. The clam chowder is a highlight, packed with clams. Customers enjoy the seafood boil, often with a favorite combo of shrimp, clams, and mussels with house special sauce on medium heat, served with corn and sausages. Many also add rice as a side, finding the flavors even better when reheated as the sauce settles in, and they prefer shrimp with shells on. The portions are often huge, with customers sometimes unable to finish everything, and the flavors are praised as fantastic. The fried rice and shrimp are especially popular, with some saying even the beer tastes better there. Service can vary, but some staff are attentive and go above and beyond, especially when helping with special dietary needs like gluten-free options. The ambiance is casual, with music playing at a comfortable level, allowing for conversations. Customers enjoy good tunes and may even catch a game, making it a good place for families or casual dates. Parking is plentiful in the strip mall. Overall, the food is a major attraction, though the experience can sometimes differ depending on staff and service.
