Crunchy Crab Seafood Shack in Kapitolyo, Pasig

Now Open in Kapitolyo: Crunchy Crab Seafood Shack

by ClickTheCity

 After over a year of joining food fairs and weekend markets, a humble stall selling soft shell crab burgers now opens its first brick and mortar store at a favorite foodie destination--Kapitolyo, Pasig.


Back in 2014, Crunchy Crab Seafood Shack began whipping up their seafood creations first at their stall at the Greenfield Weekend Market in Mandaluyong  before joining their first ever food fair--Best Food Forward--at the Rockwell Tent of the same year. Crunchy Crab is run by a group of friends who wanted to make seafood more fun, approachable, and affordable, and began with a short menu consisting of Soft-shell Crab Burgers, Shrimp BLT, and Shrimp Bucket.

Seafood Shack: Now Boiling in Quezon City

by Katarina Antonio

In some parts of the U.S, it’s not uncommon for families to gather together during warm-weather months and have what is known as a seafood boil. Shrimp, crabs, mussels and all sorts of delicious sea creatures are tossed in a pot and boiled to sweet, juicy perfection. The seafood is either served in a plastic bag or spread on newspapers where they are feasted upon by bare hands and satisfied smiles. This is not an entirely novel idea here in the Philippines. There are establishments that serve seafood in the exact same manner but there aren’t a lot of them. Seafood lovers like myself will be pleased to know that another establishment has been added to this short list.

Crab n' Crew Restobar - One That Serves Cook To Order Crabs and Shrimps

Crab n' Crew Restobar

by Trix Deseo

Visayas Avenue in Quezon City isn’t exactly the top of mind destination for fresh crabs and shrimps. Unlike by-the-bay ‘dampa’ complexes, this long stretch of road traverses quiet residential blocks and is far from any natural body of water where crabs can live.

Yet quite a number of QC residents drive to #77 Visayas Avenue when craving crabs. Their destination: Crab n’ Crew Restobar. Their purpose: to partake fresh crabs cooked in unique, made-from-scratch sauces, without shelling out too much money.

Crab n’ Crew is a joint effort of five business partners (a chef and cabin crew members, hence, ‘crab n’ crew’) who recognize the lack of quality seafood restaurant in the area—specifically one that serves cook to order crabs and shrimps. Chef Zach Puno, who was there when I first visited, said “there are very few places where you can eat crabs. And among these few places, a lot are expensive.”
