One of the few places I've found that still serves smoked mullet, which I LOVE! Also, Gator bites were delish with the remoulade sauce. Great Florida Bay shack atmosphere! Essence of Cabbage Key and the No Name Pub with the dollar bills hanging everywhere.

We had a great experience at this crab shack! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the laid-back atmosphere made it a fun place to enjoy a meal. They handled our party of 12 perfectly!

The Crab Shack was such a cool place to eat- like a festive shack- right on the Gandy and so close to the water. As soon as we walked in we got nothing but smiles and welcoming greetings from everyone. The food was wonderful- we had appetizers, salad- very average salad- but the Seafood Combo and the Seafood Pasta was so good! The fried Shrimp platter was also good and got lots of it! We left a dollar on the wall and had a great time hearing stories from Renee- she was great! We will be back!
