The Peaches umbrella and all their concepts (Hothouse, Shrimp & Crab, Kitchen & Bar) have made a name for themselves in Brooklyn as places to enjoy great Southern food. I've heard many people rave about their brunch specials, fried chicken, and here at Peaches Shrimp & Crab, their seafood boil. Though I've been cooking a lot in my quarantine kitchen, I tend to outsource the cooking of seafood, as I don't even know where to begin with something like king crab legs. Enter Peaches Shrimp & Crab.
They have outdoor seating set up right now, though no table service. You order and pay at the register inside, and staff are all masked and only allow one party in at a time to order food. Our food came out quickly and we were even able to huddle under a patio umbrella as an unexpected summer shower came down on us.
A friend and I shared the blue crab spaghetti and snow crab legs seafood boil. The spaghetti was the best part of the meal, containing a nice amount of crab meat relative to the portion of spaghetti, and the cream sauce was buttery and full of flavor. Our crab legs came in a tasty garlicky sauce, though the it wasn't the freshest, making it harder to eat. I wish they provided some kind of tool to crack the shells with to make them easier to eat, but my teeth were strong enough to suffice. The mayo sauce the plate came with also paired deliciously with the potatoes and corn in the dish.
This is a casual eatery to get your seafood fix. The menu is short and the prices are high, but I'd rather let the pros handle the crab legs than try to wrestle them in the kitchen myself.
