• King Crab Legs: If you’re a crab lover, you’ll want to dive right into our mesquite-broiled king crab legs. These juicy Alaskan king crabs are broiled to perfection, enhancing their natural sweetness with a smoky flavor. Crack them open and enjoy the tender, succulent meat inside.
• Dungeness Crab: Another star on our menu is the locally caught Dungeness crab. This crab is known for its sweet flavor and meaty claws. At The Crab Cooker, we prepare it with simple seasonings to let the natural flavors shine through.
• Grilled White Sea Bass: For those who prefer fish, our grilled white sea bass is a must-try. We cook it over an open mesquite fire, which seals in the juices and brings out the fish’s delicate flavor. Paired with our Romano potatoes, it’s a dish that truly satisfies.
