Shaking Boils
Crawfish
A Louisiana favorite, crawfish are like miniature lobsters. Served live when in-season, crawfish tails are plump and soft like a pillow with a naturally neutral flavor that soaks up all the herbs and spices in our boil
Mussels
Tender and slight chewiness, mussels typically have a mild taste that can take on the spices and herbs of our boil.
Twin Lobster Tails
Just the tails, and make it two. Don't worry, we'll use the claw meat for our lobster rolls.
Alaskan King Crab Legs
Shaking Crab proudly serves Red King Crab Legs caught off the coast of Alaska, the largest and most impressive of all crabs caught around the world.
Whole Lobster
A New England Classic weighing in at about 1.25 lbs.
Dungeness Crab Clusters
A delicacy caught from the coast of Washington, these crabs have a delicate flavor, texture and a slightly sweet taste.
Snow Crab Legs
Our most popular boil offering, snow crab is named for it's snowy white color when cooked and boasts a sweet, subtly briny flavor. The texture is firm and fibrous, easily shredding into pieces.
Easy-Peel Shrimp
These easy peel shrimp are de-veined and have the back of their shells open. More Flavor, Less Mess.
Head-On Shrimp
Peel & Eat Shrimp served head-on. We source only large shrimp to give you the most meat for your peel.
Clams
Chewy, plump with a slight saltiness

Sides
Clam Chowder Soup
A New England classic.
Steamed Rice
Mac & Cheese
The Ultimate comfort food.
Shaking Crab House Cajun Blend
From the seasoning on our Cajun Fries to the base of our signature house sauce, the Shaking Crab House Blend is a must have when Shaking from Home.

Classic Lobster Roll
Our chilled lobster salad has a light mayo base, a touch of scallion for that bite, and a mix of citruses to freshen it up. Served on a toasted, buttery roll.

This was our first seafood boil and this did not disappoint! (We love seafood) we thiight all the seafood was perfectly cooked. Never had an overcooked bite. Noodles were good too! We did the all you can eat on a Saturday for $70. Not bad pricing to us

The food is delicious, I loved it. My favorite is the mix with crab, shrimp, potatoes , corn and sauce garlic and butter. The atmosphere is cool and super relaxed. I was well looked after. There's no easy parking, so you have to look for it on the street or put it in a paid parking lot nearby. But it's worth it!
