Snow Crab Legs

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

A delicacy caught from the coast of Washington, these crabs have a delicate flavor, texture and a slightly sweet taste.
Clams

Just the tails, and make it two. Don't worry, we'll use the claw meat for our lobster rolls.

Shaking Crab in Hell's Kitchen, New York, offers a lively seafood dining experience with a Cajun twist. The standout dishes were the shrimp and crab legs, which are well-cooked and flavorful. The prices are on the higher side, and it can get quite crowded, so reservations are recommended, but overall, it's a great spot for seafood lovers looking for a messy, hands-on dining experience.

Best seafood boil in Hell’s Kitchen. LD was an amazing server, the customer service is top notch and the food is incredible. So many options ranging from type of seasoning to the add ons to the types of seafood you want. It’s our second time here and will definitely be back.
