This seafood boil restaurant has its grand opening in Myrtle Beach this week
Be prepared to get messy in Myrtle Beach, as a seafood boil restaurant has its grand opening Wednesday.
Tasty Crab House had a soft opening Monday on Oak Forest Lane near Walmart.
Diners have the boil options of king crab, snow crab, crawfish, shrimp with heads, shrimp without heads, lobster tails, baby clams, green mussels and black mussels.
Seafood boils are sold by the pound, with baby clams the least expensive at $11 per pound and king crab the most expensive at $72 per pound. Specific combinations offer discounts.
Each boil has corn and potatoes, with sausage optional.
Available sauces mixed in a bag with the ingredients are Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter, the Big Bang House Special (all three) or a combination of any two. They can be ordered non-spicy, mild, medium or hot.
Those not wanting a boil can order fried dinners including oysters, shrimp, catfish, calamari, soft shell crab and chicken tenders, as well as chicken wings.
Sides and appetizers include steamed oysters, Cajun fries, Cajun fried rice, sweet potato fries, boiled eggs, coleslaw, steamed rice and hush puppies, and three varieties of cheesecake are available for dessert. There are a few children’s items as well.
“We feel there are not many restaurants like this around the beach, and our sauce is very special as well, so we want to share it with the people here,” said Tasty Crab House general manager Mao Li, who said he is one of three partners in the restaurant.
Hours are 3-9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and noon-10:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
There are about a dozen Tasty Crab House franchises, primarily in the Southeast including Florence and North Charleston in South Carolina.
The owners of the Myrtle Beach location are providing updates on their Facebook page.
North Myrtle Beach got a seafood boil in March 2021 with the opening of Mr. Crab.
