Chef Oya's The TRAP

Seafood restaurant · Indianapolis

@eater

"Chef Oya Woodruff offers items like loaded crab legs, shrimp, lobster tail, salmon, and snow crab, all topped with your choice of her famous flavored “buttah,” along with sides like broccoli, potatoes, corn, and boiled eggs. The butter, in flavors like OG herb garlic, yaad jerk, and vegan citrus chive, is rich and flavorful, especially drizzled over your entire tray of food where it combined with the seasoning on each dish to enhance the experience. But the Trap is more than great seafood. The Black-owned business does community work, helping bring relief to Indy’s east side, one of the biggest food deserts in the state, and living up to the motto: “Feed the people, build the community, love the trap.” You can also purchase bottles of the buttah to have at home." - Mike Gillis
