Tybee Island, Georgia
What to order: Captain Crab’s sampler platter or deviled crab plate
Known as the local spot «where the elite eat in their bare feet,» The Crab Shack is open year-round for hungry locals and visitors to stop by for steamed, boiled, and raw shellfish, including specialty platters and seafood boils — it’s all just come off the pier where you’re eating alongside baby alligators in a lagoon. If you’re visiting the idyllic Southern city of Savannah, a short drive from Tybee Island, head here for the deviled crab plate, which is prepared with local blue crab meat, cracker crumbs, and spices baked in the shell with slaw and potatoes. Or go big with their specialty: the Captain’s Crab Sampler Platter, which is loaded with boiled shrimp, snow crab, rock crab, mussels, crawfish, corn, potatoes, and sausage.
