OH CRAB! — Louisiana-style seafood boil in Oakland, CA

Hands only. No forks given.

Oh crab.

A Louisiana-style seafood boil in Oakland. Seafood by the pound, one bag, one sauce, one table.

Gloves and a bib come with the table, because the food is meant to be handled, not managed. Crab, crawfish, shrimp, corn, potato, sausage — the pot doesn't discriminate, and neither does the menu.

Louisiana gave us the method. Oakland gives us the room.
