Cajun seafood boils with craft beer and cocktails
"Looking for Cajun-style seafood west of the bayou? Pull up your sleeves, tie on a bib, and prepare to dig into shellfish slathered with copious amounts of seasonings, such as Old Bay and garlic butter at Crab Hut. The homegrown Louisiana seafood kitchen showcases seafood boils with a range of sauces, ranging from garlic butter to Cajun sensation. Choose popular seafood boils, like S “N” S, which comes with head-on shrimp and snow crab clusters. Pair the seafood boils with a cocktail from the restaurant’s extensive bar menu, such as the Golden Sunset, made with aged rum, mango, pineapple, and a float of pomegranate. This is one of Convoy Street’s best options for cocktails." - Helen I. Hwang
"Crab Hut, which has locations in Convoy, Mira Mesa, and Downtown, specializes in Cajun cooking, serving crawfish, shrimp, snow crab, sausages, corn, and clams in Louisiana-style seafood boils. Happy hour dine-in specials run weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m., except for Tuesday when it’s all day. Don’t pass on the deals on oysters, crab poppers, and popcorn shrimps, along with cocktail, wine, and beer specials." - Helen I. Hwang
"A new Asian dessert shop is expanding to the Convoy District, joining other resident restaurants like Tasty Noodle House, Tofu House, and Crab Hut." - Helen I. Hwang
"Seafood boils are the thing to order at Crab Hut, a seafood restaurant with three locations in San Diego. During California’s late summer crawfish season, it’s hard to resist the classic crawfish boil, but Crab Hut also offers head-on shrimp, mussels, snow crab, and more — all sold by weight and sauced with flavors like cajun, garlic butter, and Old Bay. Throw in some corn on the cob, potatoes, and sausage, and you’ve got a satisfying meal." - Mary Beth Abate
"Southern California meets the American South here at this Louisiana-style seafood joint, where the crawfish and shrimp boils are always on. Pick a Hut, any Hut — there are locations downtown, in Convoy, and in Mira Mesa — and you’ll be able to grab both seafood by the pound and the Kraken Slayer, a take on the Boulevardier that makes use of a banana-infused Westward Whiskey alongside the traditional sweet vermouth and, in this version, a Californian amaro." - Vox Creative
