Red Crab, Seafood restaurant in Greensboro, United States
Red Crab is a seafood restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina, built around the concept of a Cajun-style boil. Guests pick their own mix of crab, shrimp, lobster, and mussels, which are then cooked together with corn and potatoes.
The restaurant brought Gulf Coast Cajun cooking to Greensboro, introducing a style of seafood preparation that was not common in North Carolina at the time. This hands-on approach to cooking shellfish has since found a regular following in the city.
The menu reflects traditional Southern coastal cooking techniques, incorporating regional seasonings and preparation methods for shellfish dishes.
Parking is available close to the restaurant, making it easy to reach by car. On weekends, the wait can be longer in the evening, so going earlier in the night tends to help.
The seafood is served directly from the bag it was cooked in, poured out onto the table, which turns the meal into a shared, hands-on experience. Each person at the table can pick a different level of spice and a different sauce, so no two orders at the same table need to taste alike.
