The Take
Crafty Crab serves fresh seafood by the pound in real garlic butter, landing a Slop Score of 52 for decent protein undermined by starchy sides and blended oils. The identity play here is the casual seafood lover signaling easy indulgence without home cooking hassle.
Custom boils let you pick crab and shrimp, but fries and Boom seasoning push it toward slop territory fast.
The Verdict
Stick to the based order of snow crab plus shrimp in garlic butter with corn and potatoes. Request dry seasoning on the side for salt control and skip any fried basket or heavy Boom mix.
Buy the garlic butter boil, skip the rest. Slop Score: 52.
