Seafood Boil in
Soho
If you’ve yet to experience the culinary magic of a saucy, spicy and super delicious seafood boil, it’s time to get ready for the best seafood boil in Soho. This flavour-packed feast comes straight from the American South, where generous helpings of crab, shrimp, mussels, and more are steamed, sauced, spiced, and served in a bag to soak up all the flavour. Your boil is then tipped straight onto your table for a messy, hands-on feast, best enjoyed with a bib, a pair of gloves, and a whole lot of napkins.
Here at Angry Crab Shack, we’re serving Soho’s best seafood boil but with our own stamp on this Southern staple. Infused with Asian-Cajun flavours, our boils are seriously addictive and absolutely packed with meaty, delicious seafood. Whether you’re building your own boil from scratch or digging into one of our ready-made bags, everything we serve is dripping in taste.
Dive into Cajun-Asian Flavour at Angry Crab Shack
Born in Mesa, Arizona in 2013, we started with one mission: to bring people together over bold flavours and messy, hands-on dining. Founded by NFL player turned restaurateur, Ron Lou, our brand quickly made waves because of our laid back vibe, strong community feel, and, of course, our signature seafood served straight to the table in saucy, spice-loaded boil bags. That same energy has now crossed the pond, and we have landed in London with locations in Borough Yards and Soho!
While you may have seen a seafood boil before, or perhaps even tasted one, what sets our Soho seafood boil apart is our fusion of Cajun soul and Asian spice. Think classic Southern seafood dishes taken to the next level with ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and (if you’re up to it) fiery heat; as well as buttery sauces made punchy with Asian aromatics and bold seasoning blends. Whether you go safe and mild or max out the spice, ours is an irresistible combo that brings together the best of two rich culinary traditions: all served with a side of good vibes and mighty messy fingers.
Not Just for Seafood Lovers
While we’re famous for our seafood boils in London and Soho, we’re not just for seafood lovers. Our menu is packed with plenty of other flavourful, spicy and satisfying options that go beyond the shell. We’ve got great choices like a classic juicy cheeseburger, stacked with melty cheese, crisp lettuce, pickles, and all the right sauces. For something with a little more kick, our Spicy Fried Chicken Burger delivers Southern fried heat, cayenne butter, trifecta mayo, and homemade slaw in a toasted brioche bun.
Alternatively, for something a little lighter, our fresh ACS salad topped with crispy tofu, chicken tenders, or fried shrimp is a refreshing (but still tasty) light bite to have instead of (or in addition to) a boil.
No matter what you choose, we encourage you to roll up your sleeves, dive in, and embrace a little mess. After all, how many other restaurants out there encourage you to dig in directly from off the table?
No Reservations? No Problem
At Angry Crab Shack, we’re all about keeping things casual, no fuss, no frills, just big flavour and good times. Walk-ins?
Always welcome. Whether you’ve wandered over on a whim or you’ve just realised nothing else will hit the spot quite like a steaming seafood boil, we’re ready for you.
But if you’ve got your heart set on a table at a certain time, we’d recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. It only takes a minute, and it means less waiting and more cracking, dipping, dunking, and digging into the boldest flavours this side of the ocean. However you get to us, we’ll be here with open claws.
Not in the mood for alcohol? No problem! Our mocktails are just as exciting, with options like the fruity and sweet Coral Kiss, the refreshing Virgin Berry Burst Mojito, or our tropical and creamy Coconut Wave. These alcohol-free options are perfect for cooling the spice and still getting stuck into the fun. We’ve also got plenty of classic options for those who like to keep it simple. Choose from a wide range of beers, including Stella, Guinness, and Asahi, or sip on a glass of our house wine, or enjoy a range of spirits, softs and mixers.
Get Stuck In
You might have already guessed, but we’re all about the messy, hands-on experience that makes our dining a little bit different and a lot of fun. This isn’t a place for polite fork and knife etiquette. Oh no no, it’s about rolling up your sleeves, grabbing gloves, and digging into big, saucy portions of seafood. When you walk through our doors, we’ll kit you out with gloves, bibs, and cracking tools, and from there, it’s all yours.
Whether you’re cracking open crab legs, peeling shrimp, or dunking fries into buttery sauce, this is the kind of meal that’s meant to be shared and celebrated. Perfect for birthday feasts, casual dates with a difference, or group get-togethers, with us, great conversations, cocktail glass toasts, and big flavours rule the tables.
