| - WHAT'S HOOKED? ME OR THE FISH?
I'm telling you now, a salted and limed Corona and some crawfish is the best thing since sliced bread.
If you really knew me, you'd know I pretty much dislike any kind of food that I have to peel at or work for (#laziness). Honestly, I really wasn't all that hyped to come to a crawfish shop, but I took one for the team. So, the normal thing for me to do when visiting a restaurant such as LA Crab Shack is order Cajun fries, tenders or other easy-to-eat foods.
As we browsed the menu, we started off with Oysters (so fresh!), Calamari and of course a Catfish Basket with lemon pepper fries,so so so yummy. Although I'm not crazy for crawfish, everyone else loves crawfish, they ordered a load of em'. We also got the Combo A (35.99 before tax) which comes with 2 pounds crawfish 1 pound shrimp, 4 sausage, 3 potatoes, 2corn, and 6 clams. We got the House Blend Medium, I thought this was perfect because we got to try a little bit of everything. I usually pick at the crawfish and sides to fit in with the "crawfish fanatics" then "BAM" flavors everywhere. The sauce is AMAZING. I started to pick at the sausage and the shrimp and next thing you know I was pretty into the crawfish and I couldn't stop eating it! It was so delicious!
Since the first time, I also tried the Gator Basket and the Gator was sooo buttery, yum!
I deducted a star because the first time I was there, it was almost like we had to ask for everything, and by the time we got what we needed, we were done with that particular dish. For example, our waiter had brought out our oysters, but no lemon, no salt/pepper, no horseradish or cocktail sauce. It took a really long while after our request for it and we had started to pick at our food. In my mind, this was annoying because these usually come with the oysters unasked. Another thing is that the sauce was inconsistent, and this has ONLY happened ONCE so far in the couple times I've been here. We ordered the same sauce and same spice for our crawfish (which was delicious) and clams, but the clams came out cringe-worthy salty.
Pricing is pretty decent, average for a crawfish restaurant.
Honestly, with the deducted star, I'd still come back, it was still a better than average experience and the place is so pirate/sea themed it's so cute, roomy too! In fact, I've been back twice since, all in under a month. I'd say I'm a bit obsessed, or hooked I should say! ARGGHHH MATEY!
