A Brooklyn Seafood Boil With Crab And Lobster Shaken In Spice
Bags of shellfish shaken in spice and a glass of Southern sweet tea set the order at this casual 5th Ave room.
🦞 Shaken In The Bag
Shaking Crab keeps the order simple, with bags of crab and lobster shaken with spices and a glass of Southern sweet tea on the side. It is a casual Brooklyn seafood boil, a plan for rolled up sleeves rather than a formal night out.
The dining area stays clean, with staff handling table service, bartending, and continuous upkeep. Interactions are friendly and helpful, though mid meal check ins can be sparse once the bags arrive. Order everything at the start. Food quality is solid, and flavor intensity varies by sauce, with feedback noting that the lemon pepper sauce runs light on butter and seasoning.
Find it at 230 5th Ave in Brooklyn. Hours run 5 PM to 11 PM Monday through Wednesday, and noon to 11 PM Thursday through Sunday. Go with a group, split crab and lobster bags, and pick a bolder sauce over lemon pepper.
