Shaw's Crab House

®

Quality Crab, Premium Seafood & Prime Steaks

Shaw's is two restaurants in one – a jazzy, sophisticated, seafood restaurant and a carefree, lively oyster bar. Both serve top-grade fish and shellfish, several varieties of just-shucked oysters, and inventive sushi and sashimi combinations, made with the freshest fish in town.

The wonderful, sweet crabs vary by season, with Alaskan red king legs, Florida stone crab claws, Maryland blue crab, whole Dungeness and soft shells, plus shrimp, Maine lobster and cold-water tails. Like all our seasonally fresh fish (which is filleted in house), they're chosen with consideration for the environment, often coming from fishing families Shaw's knows personally.

That's not to say meat lovers get short shrift: Hand-selected USDA Prime cuts are on the menu, too. Shaw's also takes pride in the depth and breadth of its wine list, organized for easy selection by taste characteristics.

    Nantucket Cape Scallops Are In Season At Shaw’s Crab House

    Shaw’s Crab House is serving fresh Nantucket Cape Scallops beginning in early November. Unlike any other bay scallop in the world, the Nantucket Cape Scallops come from the coldest, purest and most pristine waters off the islands of Nantucket and thriving on special feed, giving them a delicate texture and a light, sweet flavor. The season only lasts from a few weeks to three to four months, so it is truly a special time of year. The uniqueness of these scallops makes them a must-have during the short time they are available. For more information, visit www.shawscrabhouse.com.
