The Crab House

Larry and I love fresh seafood, but living in Denver, “fresh” seafood usually means frozen, which is fine too. We are known more for beef and wild game that for seafood. We’re landlocked, after all, located in the Rocky Mountains. So unless we are eating trout and bass, both of which are delicious by the way, then chances are, we are not really getting “fresh” seafood. But we still eat and enjoy our seafood no matter what.

Last night, we were out running errands and opted for an early dinner and tried a new seafood restaurant near our house, called The Crab House.

We did what we normally do when trying out a new restaurant. We ordered a few different menu items to share. The food was good, but MESSY, which made it a little difficult to eat. We knew it was going to be messy when they gave us bibs, plastic gloves, and a bucket, plus there was butcher paper on the tables.

We started off with a bowl of clam chowder. It was good. We always add pepper to our New England clam chowder. We both like the pepper.

We also ordered a crab salad, which was delicious and was topped with a ton of crab meat.

And then we ordered a Cajun shrimp and crawfish boil. It was loaded with large prawns/shrimp and crawfish, boiled together with corn and potatoes in a very flavorful spicy Cajun sauce.

Like I said, everything was delicious and full of flavor, and the staff was very pleasant and helpful, but it was MESSY! Messy often means it tastes really good too, which is certainly did in this case as well. Back in my waitress days, many, many moons ago, I used to tell people things always tasted better when they were messy. We enjoyed our messy meal and our evening.

The Crab House is located at 1190 1st Avenue, Broomfield CO. You can walk in like we did, or you can order it to go. Either way you’ll be in for a very tasty, but very messy Cajun meal. Laissez le bontemps roulez, or let the good times roll.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Life is an adventure. Be adventurous and get out of your comfort zone a bit. You never know what you’ll discover. And who knows, you just may enjoy yourself a bit. 🙂 ‘Til next time.
