CRACKING CRAB – Seafood
Cracking Crab does Louisiana-style boils in Pensacola, and ordering is a three-step ritual: choose your catch, choose your seasoning, then decide how much heat you can take. Each pound is boiled in house spices and served in a bag with potatoes and corn on the cob so the sauce stays on the shellfish. Around the boils sits a fried board of shrimp, catfish, tilapia, oyster and crab-bite baskets, calamari and a pick-two. Burgers, house and fish sandwiches, oysters and scallops steamed then seasoned, seafood platters and combination trays fill the rest. A lunch card runs until three. Wear the bib.
