A Three Pound Crab Feed for the Summer Bucket List

 
 

Downtown Seattle has so much to celebrate this summer. For every day that passes, bits and pieces of the viaduct chip away and remind us of the exciting views and upgrades to come to our waterfront. While we wait for the transformation to come full circle, the Seattle waterfront’s eclectic food scene is already celebrating a new revival worth experiencing. Most recently? Chef Nick Novello has re-imagined the classic crab feed at The Crab Pot, with a Royal Crab Feast on the menu all Summer long. Add this meal to your summer wish-list, all three pounds of it.

Bib up for this feast boasting an impressive variety of this tasty crustacean including - Alaskan bairdi, Alaskan king crab and Dungeness - complete with red jacketed potatoes, fresh corn, andouille sausage and head-on shrimp ($54.95 per person/minimum two orders.)

 Since Chef Nick Novello joined Miners Landing in late 2018, he’s followed in the footsteps of his father who previously ran operations for the Seattle-based company’s California locations. Growing up in the business, Nick’s commitment sustainable seafood sourcing and delicious food has reinvigorated the menus and overall experience at these one-of-a-kind waterfront restaurants.

With four restaurants, carefully curated shops, a food court with a view of Puget Sound, one-of-a-kind rides and attractions, this one-stop destination provides a unique perspective on the history and future of Seattle and beyond. Its four restaurants, including The Crab Pot Restaurant and Bar, The Fisherman’s Restaurant and Bar, The Salmon Cooker and The Alaskan Sourdough Bakery feature freshly-caught, local seafood prepared by Chef Nick Novello and presented in a variety of formats ranging from quick serve or street-style to a traditional crab feed or refined waterfront dining. The Great Wheel and Wings Over Washington provide a one-of-a-kind view of the region. The space features native wood carvings and historically-inspired décor that pay homage to the pier’s location, which played a significant role in the Seattle Gold Rush (1897-98).
