CRAB DADDY'S SURF & TURF – Seafood
A Lakeland food truck that runs a seventy-mile radius around Tampa Bay and takes event bookings. The cooking is Gulf Coast Southern crossed with hibachi. Shrimp and grits arrive as creamy buttery cheese grits with a Cajun edge under sauteed shrimp and smoked sausage. Seafood gumbo is slow-simmered with shrimp, lump crab and sausage over white rice. The seafood skillet piles seasoned rice, fried catfish nuggets, garlic butter shrimp, sausage and caramelised peppers. Then hibachi: shrimp and steak over rice, or a low-carb cabbage bowl. Seafood mac and cheese uses five cheeses. Order online, then go chase the truck down.
