Crab & Claw might be in the heart of Carrollton, Texas, but take one step inside and you just might think you’ve been transported to the bayou. From the the nautical decor and tables covered in butcher paper, it’s obvious that these people mean business about authentic Southern seafood.

A steaming bag arrives at your table, packed full of seafood that’s been boiled by the pound. Take a look inside, and it might contain King Crab legs, oysters, or crawfish (if they’re in season). Slather them in Crab & Claw’s signature Bang hot sauce for an extra kick, or dip each piece in creamy garlic butter. If you’re in the mood for a more traditional plating, there are platters of fried shrimp with hush puppies, with icy frozen mugs of beer to provide the refreshing finishing touch.
