This is my first time going to Captain's boil but have heard many things about it! Firstly, I will say... be prepared to get dirty! You have to peel and crack open shellfish on your own and they're soaked in sauce so there will be splashing and they're slippery suckers (a la Pretty Woman).
Then portions are really good! I got 1lb of mussels boil with the Captains boil broth which is a combination of all 3 flavours. It was really good, garlicky, with some lemon and tang. The mussels themselves were excellent, they were nice and meaty, not little ones! Mussels in general are easier to remove than shrimp or crab and I was feeling lazy. Recommend, esp if you are lazy and don't want to make a mess.
I also got the fried shrimp basket that comes with a heap of Cajun fries. This was really good too! The shrimp was juicy and meaty, not one of those skinny ones with a lot of batter. The batter to shrimp ratio was good. Fries were delicious also and comes with a nice mayo-tartar-dill tasting dip and ketchup. This could be a meal all on it's own!
I also got the fried rice and was surprised that the portion size is very generous! Not dry and the scallops and shrimps have a strong presence. Not like other seafood fried rice where you have to dig for the occasional shrimp and scallop. Recommend!
My first visit was really enjoyable and the staff are relaxed and friendly. I would definitely come back and recommend others to give this place a try if you love seafood!
