About Craving Claw

My Crab House is a casual restaurant with a plain, comfortable interior, resembling a typical New England shoreline eatery. It has a limited parking area, but street parking is available. The service is average, unhurried, and friendly. Prices are moderate, making it a solid choice for seafood lovers.

The Fish and Chips and garlic noodles are exceptional, with the garlic noodles being a must-try that leaves diners impressed. The clams are served in a large plastic bag with garlic butter, adding a unique touch. The shrimp, crab, and clams boil is a popular choice, cooked in Louisiana sauce with a desired level of spiciness. Diners have praised the all-you-can-eat seafood and sushi option for about $40 per person after tax, which is considered a great deal given the incredible quality of the sushi.

While some items such as lobster and oysters may be out of stock, it is wise to check the menu and availability beforehand. The seasoning for seafood varies, with some like scallops and shrimp being well-balanced, while the crab may be a bit saltier. Despite the occasional lack of certain seafood options, My Crab House offers a unique Vietnamese Cajun-style seafood boil experience, making it a worthwhile dining destination that is gaining a reputation for its quality and value, especially with the limited-time sushi offerings.
