Make Sure To Come Hungry To The Build-Your-Own Seafood-Boil Restaurant, Shaking Crab, In Rhode Island
It’s no secret that we love our seafood here in Rhode Island – after all, we are known as the Ocean State. And when nothing but a good old-fashioned seafood boil will do, we highly recommend checking out Shaking Crab in Providence. Not only does this place allow you the option of creating your own custom creation, but the food also happens to be fantastic.

The eatery is a local New England chain, but this is the only location in Rhode Island.

Nick had just returned from a trip to California and excitedly described his favorite meal of the trip to his friend Kevin: a crab boil with shrimp, crab legs, and crawfish, drenched in a spicy, garlicky sauce.

They promptly decided to open one themselves, and Shaking Crab was born.

Alaskan King Crab, easy-peel shrimp, and snow crab legs are all popular choices.

Finish by selecting your add-ins, like corn, broccoli, and potatoes.

The concept is simple, but it's fantastic.

No matter where you enjoy your meal, you'll be addicted to eating seafood this way.
Hours are 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 12 p.m. until 9 p.m. on weekends. Ready to order your delicious seafood boil? Click here to visit the Shaking Crab website, and here for their Facebook page.
