Crab Shack - Cornwall,Isles of Scilly

Great food, great service, great drink. This place has a small menu and nails everything on it! 10 out of 10

We were lucky enough to acquire a booking at the very popular and sought after Crab Shack. We couldn't have been happier with the evening. The food is simple yes but also delicious. We had the scallops, mussels and crab which were all cooked in tasty assorted butters. The sides were generous in portion. The price is reasonable considering the produce is super fresh, local and cooked to perfection. We loved the rustic ambience and atmosphere with the aprons, finger bowls and hand towels. It's a get stuck in and get messy affair which is all part of the fun!We had both the Eaton mess and the cheese board which were both beautiful with a wonderful thoughtfully selected variety of cheeses.The staff were a friendly, attentive and very smiley bunch.We couldnt recommend the experience enough!

Great experience. Delicious fresh crab. Very messy but well worth it. Mussel and Scollop starters were delicious too. Oh and don't forget the mountainous Eaton Mess to finish us off! They have got things just right here with a limited menu of things done very well.

This a great place for shellfish lovers. It is a converted barn with long tables, so grooups sit together and start chatting away, which is lovely. It is all very relaxed and simple rolls of kitchen roll on the tables instead of posh napkins.

The Crab Shack is a unique institution serving it's tight menu of Crab and Mussels quickly and efficiently. You all have to muck in and share tables , so it isn't fine dining as you learn when they kit you out with an apron as a starter. You'll learn a lot about your neighbours as well as a primer on crustacean anatomy.
