The best part is, they actually catch the crabs themselves! Every day during the summer crab season they catch the crab and deliver to the restaurant fresh and ready for customers to order!
But after June 15th they serve the freshest crab you can get in Alaska! Prior to June 15th the crab is still incredibly delicious, and still caught by them during the winter crabbing season!

With large picnic tables that can seat at least six people each, if you’re lucky you won’t have to wait too long! This restaurant also has a large holding tank for the crab you’ll eat. In fact, you can pick out your live crab, and then hold it and take a picture with it before eating it!
Try it in a combo, Asian style, or as a cocktail! They even have King Crab if you’re in the mood to go big!
