When it was dark they held up the fish and used it as a lamp. "The quicksilver will guide our way."

It'll be for my eki-bento <train station boxed lunch> so I can stay nourished with omega-3s on my long journey :)

I ate at The Boiling Crab last night in Garden Grove on Brookhurst. It's basically a Cajun seafood restaurant with no frills good tasting food. It's quite like a clam bake indoors...you order your food by the pound and it comes to your butcher-paper covered table in clear plastic bags....everybody wears a bib and gets to cracking the shellfish by hand or mallet. We ordered several pounds of shellfish - crawfish, shrimp, Dungeness crab, and King crab legs.

The bill for 7 ppl came to only 27 dollars per person, which included tax and tip....

There's more than one location....I know of another in Alhambra....

Has anybody else been to this place? It was my first time dining there.

Really? What the heck did you eat there, then? Most of the food is shellfish...tho' they do have fried catfish and raw oysters as I recall.

it was something with shrimp... it was the opening week, and it was memorable enough.. i'll go again sometime soon though, i wanna have some proper shellfish.

I see my culinary wizard...as far as I recall...most foods are shellfish...dungeness, alaskan king crab lebs, shrimp, and crawdads...they make up the bulk of the mneu....

...beers there are 2 to 2.50 for domestic and imported...which is ridiculously cheap....a foodie like you...will love the Boiling Crab, methinks. :bow:
