Boiled, grilled, fried seafood with Cajun recipes & margaritas
"As the name suggests, these seafood joints satisfy your shellfish cravings to your exacting specifications. Here, create your own seafood boil with by-the-pound selections, including multiple varieties of crab, plus crawfish, shrimp, mussels, and lobster. With piles of potatoes and corn on the cob delivered steaming to your table (we call that a seafood facial), it’s an interactive, crack-and-peel dinner that’s as photogenic as it is scrumptious. Astral House Margaritas fuel the fun further while quenching the thirst you work up from all that hard shelling work. Looking for more margs? Check out these other local bars serving Astral Tequila: State and Allen; Nodding Donkey; Vivo; Kanvas; Las Flamas; El Puplo; Stratos; Bombones; Sundown at Grenada; Blue Goose Cantina Frisco, Plano, Highland Village, McKinney, Fort Worth, and Grapevine locations; and Shell Shack Mesquite" - Steven Craig Lindsey
"Shell Shack can satisfy the need for spicy crawfish at all its locations, including the Lake Highlands one. Ask the kitchen to drench a couple of pounds of crawfish in garlic, Cajun, or lemon-pepper seasoning, or go whole hog with “the Kitchen Sink,” a blend of all three. Heat levels, which range from mild to diablo, can also be customized." - Courtney E. Smith
"This local chain is a great stop for Cajun bites — it’s got all the classic plus unique inventions to it including crab stuffed tater tots, Mardi Gras pasta, and alligator tendies. It’s also the spot for by the pound boils of multiple varieties of crab, crawfish, mussels, and shrimp." - Courtney E. Smith
"A Dallas export, this seafood house features boiled king crab, snow crab, Dungeness crab, shrimp and crawfish (seasonally) and allows guests to choose from one of five seasoning blends — go for the Kitchen Sink — and spice levels that range from mellow mild to the dangerous diablo." - Megha McSwain
"Despite these lingering fears about finances and health, other restaurateurs are desperate to get the doors back open. Dallas-based spots Shell Shack, Sushi Marquee, and Ebb & Flow all plan to reopen on May 1 while observing the 25 percent capacity rule." - Amy McCarthy
