Much like Jonah crab in taste and texture, yet much larger. Comes from Baja, Mexico. This one also comes from the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is served either as leg and claw, or in clusters, which is a half of crab. Soft-shell Crab is a blue crab in the stage between shedding its shell and growing a new one, a process the crab repeats dozens of times throughout its life as it grows larger.
Crawdads Also known as crayfish or crawfish there are several varieties.
These crustaceans, looking like miniature lobsters, are pulled from the streams in many States, as well as from the Gulf of Mexico. Like most of our menu items, crawdads are traditionally eaten with the fingers. We only eat the tails, but if you're one of those experts on this species that bite the tails and suck the heads let us know, we want to watch. Clams Most clams in market come from the East Coast, north of Cape Cod or in the Chesapeake Bay called littleneck or cherrystone. However, more rare West Coast clams include the Pacific butter clam, the razor clam and, if you can dig it, the Pismo.
