Six Pack: Crab in Philadelphia

With only a few weeks left until fall, now is the time to stuff yourself with as much seafood as you can possibly hold in order to hang on tight to that East Coast summer feeling. To that end, we’ve recently brought you Foobooz Six Packs on lobster and fish tacos, and now it’s time for a round-up of where to get crabs In Philly.

Enjoy!

Crab Night at Route 6

Every Wednesday night from 5pm to closing, Stephen Starr’s Route 6 does a Maryland Crab Night. The crabs themselves go for $6.50 each and they’re served Maryland-style–warm and un-cleaned, meaning you get to crack open that baby with a mallet yourself. Any dinner that involves a hammer is one we’re excited to be a part of.

Stogie Joe’s Tuesday Crab Night

Tuesday nights throughout the summer are Crab Nights at Stogie Joe’s with snow crab clusters for $14.95/lb and New Jersey#1 Blue Claw Crabs for $5.  Corn on the cob as a side is like icing on the cake.

All You Can Eat at Snockey’s

Monday through Friday Snockey’s Oyster and Crab House serves all-you-can-eat crabs from 5:30pm to 9:30pm. All the hard shell crab (cleaned for you by the kitchen) and corn on the cob you can eat and all it’ll cost you is $26.50.

Nightly Specials at DiNardo’s

DiNardo’s Famous Crabs has daily crab specials running Monday through Thursday. On Mondays, the deal is all-you-can-eat for $35. $36 will get you 2 lb of snow crab on Wednesdays, or the same amount of Dungeness crabs on Thursdays,  all served with slaw and fries.

Crab Platters in West Philadelphia

At Baltimore Crab & Seafood not only can you get a pound of Alaskan or Dungeness crab for just $15, but you can combine it with steak, lobster, or shrimp as a combo platter. Pairing it with a 4 oz lobster tail will run just $24.

Benny’s on Bustleton

A little ways out from the city you’ll find Benny the Bum’s on Bustleton Avenue. They carry classic Baltimore style steamed crabs individually for a few dollars each and crab specials like the Dungeness platter: Two jumbo clusters in a spicy crab sauce, for $22.
