| - On this double date with Blair B. and Mike B., the guys had no say in where we decided to go - Blair and I had both bookmarked Crab Corner so that was our destination! Mike B. is from the northeast and he is a big fan of fresh seafood. We ordered a pound of large crabs (special was 50% off $70 for those), a side of sweet potato tots, mini crab cake appetizer, and Eric R. got corn on the cob.
The crabs were heavily seasoned but luckily not crazy-garlic-ish like hot n juicy's seasoning blend. Eric R. was less than thrilled about working for his meal, so he was whiny the whole time and lamented that he did not order the crab cake platter for his meal. The crab cakes we tried were all crab, no filler, so that was positive.
There was a sign on the wall next to me that told us how to open the crab for maximum eating pleasure. I got this down easily and malleted my way into the legs, making perfect cuts each time. I really dug the sweet potato tots too because they were basically little mounds of sweet potato fried in batter, rather than shredded and made into tots.
After that, Mike bought a Tastykake so Eric R. then bought one too and he ate his for dessert inside the restaurant. When we got home, we realized we had a 10% off coupon...woops! Overall, hot and delicious crab and a fun, interactive and messy dinner with friends - what's not to like?
