I mean, I really don't have that much of an issue with the grocery store doing it for a reasonable price and doing it for everyone. I have a serious issue with a restaurant doing it at Uber inflated prices and serving it in a restaurant setting and taking EBT.

Fiery Crab


Has a pretty good lunch special on weekdays. $10 for a poboy, fries, and a drink. I haven't been there in a while so prices may have changed.

I assume these places use frozen Asian seafood… steamed to heat up, then tossed in some sort of oily spice mixture? And they use more of that mixture for the “spiciness” levels

It’s so gross

When they first popped up, I got a to go order. When I walked in and was the only "different" person in there, it was like one of those record scratch moments when everyone looked up

Honestly, the food was good. Haven't been back though

They are using cheap imported Asian seafood and selling it at prices you’d see for quality gulf/Atlantic sourced seafood

They don’t have to be packed to make money. Large profit margins

How are snow crab bad though? Can they farm snow crab? It's not like shrimp.

They just charge an insane price for really not much food. I don't see how people even with EBT cards want to pay that much when you can get the same damn thing in the grocery store for a quarter of the price.
