Naked Crab, Queens

A real Southern crab boil conjures up images of red-and-white checked tablecloths, cheesy lobster napkins, and a whole lot of happy people gathered round a heaping pile of seafood. The chefs at Naked Crab think that's a pretty special thing, which is why they'll help you re-create it with their menu of seafood boils. Start by picking out a meat such as classic shrimp or king crab legs, then choose your flavor profile. Like things spicy? Go Cajun. Citrus more your speed? Lemon pepper is where it's at. And if you really want a feast, for just a few dollars extra per add-on, you can toss corn, potatoes, sausage, or all three. What makes Naked Crab so inviting, though, is that they're masters of almost all seafood, not just boils. Their menu is chock full of the sea's bounty and it can be enjoyed in every which way from plates of raw oysters to squid ink pasta.
