BOILING CRAB (THE) – Seafood
Bibs on, butcher paper down, and a bag of seafood tipped straight onto the table. The South Miami branch sits on SW 73rd Street, a short walk from the Metrorail station. You choose the catch — blue crab, Dungeness, snow or king crab legs, lobster, shrimp, crawfish in season, oysters, clams, mussels — then the sauce: Rajun Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter, or The Whole Sha-Bang, with heat dialled from non-spicy to XXX. Fried catfish and calamari baskets, gumbo, corn on the cob, sausage, potatoes and Cajun fries fill the gaps. Messy by design, and deservedly busy because of it.
