Communal Seafood Dining Above the Norfolk
Drink N Dine bring the American crab joint experience to Cleveland Street.
Tired of table manners? Fed up with forks? You're going to love Drink N Dine's newest project. They're inviting diners to put on a bib, get their hands dirty and tuck into a seafood experience, American crab joint style.
Opening on November 1 above The Norfolk, Cleveland Street, the House of Crabs will offer a boil menu. In other words, you choose your seafood (crab, prawn or clam) and your preferred sauce (Cajun, oriental, Mexican or lemon pepper). Both are cooked and served in a bag. You and your friends gather around a communal table and use your fingers to extract whatever fleshy goodness you can.
If boiled isn't your style, then you can opt for the snack menu. Smoked ocki tacos, crabs on acid, buffalo cucumber, lobster fries, creole corn and lobster rolls are all on the list. More substantial non-boiled meals include blackened snapper, fried chicken, steak and salsa creola. As far as beverages go, New Orleans is the theme, with hurricanes, peach cobblers and blackberry mint juleps on offer, as well as a handpicked selection of beers and wines.
You'll be able to get your finger licking fix Tuesday through to Saturday, from 6pm until late, and Friday between midday and 3pm. Both bookings and walk-ins will be made welcome.
The House of Crabs opens on November 1 at Level 1, 305 Cleveland Street, Redfern (above The Norfolk).
