Trap Kitchen

"Hearty seafood platters, tender BBQ chicken thighs, and sweet Spanish-style rice are just some of the deliciously messy things you can find at this American-inspired Camden favourite. Trap Kitchen’s menu has a ‘bucket’ which very much speaks our language. Get it with the lobster tails and make sure you also order bang bang prawns, spicy mac and cheese, buttered corn and egg. Basically, arrive hungry." - rianne shlebak

"Sometimes you just need to get down and dirty with a couple of lobster tails. Trap Kitchen understands this. That’s why their seafood bucket comes with a pair of throwaway gloves. The restaurant serves excellent New Orleans-inspired classics, but the star of the show is their XXL lobster tails that are so meaty and so perfectly juicy that we think about them at least four times a day, every single day. This Camden spot is one of the best places for an affordable yet deeply satisfying seafood fix." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager

"“This wondrous array of deeply satisfying fried stuff arrives on a glistening tinfoil-covered tray that has convinced me once and for all that there are many readings of Rihanna’s ‘shine bright like a diamond’ lyrics. Seriously meaty lobster tails and XXL bang bang prawns, Trap Kitchen are masters at doing exceptional seafood dressed down in its casual best.” — HLB" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"“I’ve got more into seafood this year. I’ve also got more into not trying to reduce my screen time. In totally unrelated news, I was spending a very huge chunk of my free time rewatching videos of sizzling prawns on Trap Kitchen’s Instagram page. When I finally got my hands on one of their buckets, it did not disappoint. The lobster tails were buttery, the bang bang prawns were full of flavour, and the mac and cheese was perfectly cheesy and spicy.” - RS" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
