| - Eating cooked seafood from a plastic bag using your hands has become the latest trend in Toronto's food scenery for a while now. And since it's so hard to get in to The Captain's Boil, I decided to give this one a try.
Among its variety of seafood-inspired dishes, I really liked the King Crab Leg served with the Leviathan Sauce. The crab legs were surprisingly easy to break apart, although crackers or scissors are provided for the tougher shells. For smaller things I recommend the Cuba Shrimp paired with the Kraken Sauce -- their signature garlicky house sauce.
ALSO I strongly recommend you go there during lunch time, and buy the deal from Groupon! You can get one of their sizzling plates. For only around 8 bucks (I think?), you have a choice of beef, chicken, shrimp, which comes with a side of mixed seafood boil bag (2 shrimps, 3 sausages, 2 mussels, and sweet corn). Very decent deal for all you workers and students out there, way better than food court eh?
Overall what I like about The Boil Bar is that there is zero formality. This whole dump-it-on-the-table-and-share gives a lot casual touch on the whole dining experience, and makes eating out together much more fun!
