CRAB TRAP – Seafood
In the heart of historic downtown Fernandina Beach, The Crab Trap works a seafood-forward kitchen in a room that stays island-casual while the cooking does not. Low Country Boils are the signature, sold for one, two or four with hush puppies; fried shrimp and grit cakes, hand-cut steaks and craft cocktails fill out the rest. Every night carries its own deal, from all-you-can-eat fried catfish to snow crab by the pound, prime rib, and oysters raw or steamed. Live piano and sing-alongs run in the downstairs dining room on weekend evenings. The second floor seats eighty. Come crabby, leave happy.
