| - The Captain's boil franchise is undoubtedly the best of its kind in the GTA. You order seafood by the pound, which comes in a bag mixed with the sauce you pick. I've tried the captain's boil sauce, which is a mix of the other three sauces they offer. Love it! It is not too watery, and very intense, which pairs well with the seafood. I've tried the mussels, clams, snow crab, shrimp and seafood platter.
Their clams are fresh and flavourful. The shrimp is cooked just right. Out of all these foods, I prefer the shrimp because it is a perfect compromise of flavour, price and the amount of work I have to put in to get to the flesh. The price for the snow crab legs is around $18/lb which is fair. I don't quite remember the pricing for the other items.
The cajun fries are okay, although I don't know if I would order them next time. The reason is, I am not a fan of the type of fries that they offer, which somewhat reminds me of high school cafeteria fries. Despite this, the cajun seasoning adds a nice touch.
Service was very attentive and the wait for the food is blessedly short. They provide scissors and crackers for the crab legs in case you have any trouble getting it open. They also provide these flimsy transparent gloves that you can use to eat, but they don't do much to keep the sauce out, might as well eat with your bare hands.
There is parking in the plaza, although it can become difficult to find spots during peak eating hours on the weekend. Captain's Boil is also available for takeout.
