House of Crabs, Redfern
Guest blogger edition
Upon getting our table, we were given a complimentary box of freshly popped popcorn which was flavoured with some Cajun spices to get us started – they were surprisingly addictive and we polished them off long before our food arrived.
Luckily, we were provided with ample instruments to attack the crabs, including the usual crab crushers, thin spiny metal things to dig meat out of the legs (no idea the real name of this) as well we scissors (probably the most handy of them all), as well as some rubber gloves for those that don’t like to get their hands dirty.
Between the four of us, we ordered 2 x bags of crab (Snow and King) 1 x bag of prawns, 1 x lobster fries, 1 x blackened fish, 1 x creole corn and 2 x ice cream waffle sandwich (1 x jug of coke as a drink also). Total damage? Approx $200 bucks.
 Creole corn -$8 (w/ Dorito & Jerky salt)
Â
Lobster fries – $12 (w/ lobster gravy, bacon and corn)
Snow Crab with Oriental sauce – $36
King Crab with Mexican sauce – $45
Complimentary bread to mop up all that delicious crabby sauce
Blackened fish $22 (w/ pineapple & black bean salsa)
Waffle ice cream sandwich – $12 (Raspberry, almonds & chocolate)
Overall, a fantastic way of having a fun night demolishing some crabs and getting our hands dirty digging out the tiny morsels of meats out of those bony shells. All that was left was the clean up.
