I think Crab-e-Toms ruined me for life. The Dungeness crabs were so delicious nothing else will ever compare.
There isn't much going on in Fortuna. I was staying here to visit my boyfriend and his family during winter break. My boyfriend knew that my island roots meant that I had a love for seafood and he promised me that if I made the journey to Fortuna that I would be eating really great crab. He wasn't lying. It's beyond great, it's simply ambrosial!!!!
I've been eating crab before I even started walking, so I know what fresh is and what the flavor should be. This place delivers on both counts. The crab was moist, sweet, salty, and utterly devine.
The service was efficient. I have a few tips though; you should order ahead and have cash ready.
I went to SF recently to eat crab and it made me sad. It made me realize that I have to travel quite a distance to ever enjoy crab again. Thanks a lot Crab-e-Toms! :( read more
