| - Baskets, bags and platters! Angry Crab did not disappoint. When my daughter expressed that she would love to eat crab again, I decided to give Angry Crab a shot. Thank you to Yelp Reviewers who enticed me with their reviews and photographs.
The decor is cute! The wait-staff was friendly and energetic. Tatum, our server was super helpful and attentive. She was thorough guiding us through the menu. When we found out that they had live blue crab, we ordered a pound of blue crab ($13/lb), hush puppies ($4), half dozen raw oysters in a half shell ($8).
Hushpuppies were amazing! Fluffy inside, crunchy outside, they were so very tasty and spicy, packing a little punch. It was good with Ranch and Cocktail sauce.
Oysters were top notch as well. They were decent-sized except for one small one, fat and tasty. Condiments were traditional except instead of lemons, they served limes. I actually liked the zing. I enjoyed slurping the salty juice off the shell.
Thanks to Yelp Reviewers, we chose the trifecta saucing with our blue crabs (Cajun spices, butter and garlic). You did not steer us wrong. Yum! The first crab I opened up was perfect. It was a male. Under the shell, it was lovely and creamy. Meat was firm and sweet. Just fabulous. The second crab was dead, dead, dead. Also male, under the shell, there was nothing but membrane. The flesh in the body was shrunken and mushy. When we spoke to a passing server, he dismissed it as, "That's just blue crabs."
"I disagree with you." He quickly discerned that I wasn't going to accept his response. "I will get the manager."
Kudos to the manager! He did not argue with me. He asked if I would like another crab. The crab he brought the next time was as perfect with the first. When our server Tatum came to check with us, we shared our notes about the dead crab. She said she wouldn't have known the difference between a live crab or dead one after cooking. So, we proceeded to show the difference between the texture of the flesh and described the flavor.
Live seafood: Blue Crabs, Dungeness Crabs, Maine Lobster, Crawfish! Snow Crab Legs are not live. I will be back to try the Dungeness Crab next!
