The next time you get a hankering for some crab, you’ve got to visit The Surfing Crab. Located in Lewes, the eatery has been serving up all-you-can-eat crab, along with other tasty seafood dishes, for more than 10 years. Take a look:
This is The Surfing Crab. It’s fittingly located in Lewes, where "sun, the sand, and the sea are still the number one attractions."
The Surfing Crab may have opened in 2008, but owner Donald Vechery has been in the business of seafood since the age of nine, when he began working in his father’s crab house.
All of his years of experience paid off. The Surfing Crab is now a go-to spot for fresh seafood and crabs.
But it’s not just the quality of the crabs patrons rave about. There’s also the quantity – or should we say, the seemingly endless quantity.
That’s right; we’re talking about all-you-can-eat crab.
Sure to quench your crab craving, the All-You-Can-Eat Crab Feast is $49 per person and includes hushpuppies, fries, coleslaw, and all the crab you can eat, of course.
A few things you should know. There’s a two-hour time limit, and you must eat the entire crab – including the claws.
Oh, and no sharing, of course. This shouldn’t be a hard rule to follow, though. The crabs are so good, the last thing you’ll want to do is give them away.
Don’t want to eat to your heart’s content? No problem; the crabs are also sold by the half-dozen and dozen.
The crab fare doesn’t end there, though. Soft shell crabs, crab legs, and crab cakes are just a few other ways to enjoy crab.
Of course, it’s not just crab you can fill up on. The menu features a variety of seafood dishes as well as a few landlubbers’ options.
A crab house through and through, The Surfing Crab is a no-frills type of place. Expect brown paper on the tables and the sound of mallets pounding away on crabs.
You can also expect some of the best crab you’ve ever tried, along with comfy surroundings to enjoy it in.
So, are you ready to fill up on some of the state's best crab?
The Surfing Crab is open Monday – Friday 3 p.m. – 9 p.m. and Saturday – Sunday 12 p.m. – 10 p.m. Remember, it's closed on Tuesdays in September. For more information, call (302) 644-4448. You can also visit The Surfing Crab website or Facebook page.
