Corn, Sausage, Shrimp + potato
Heaven T.

I am SO loyal to Krispy Krab. Since I moved back here after school, this is the only place I will go to get seafood trays. There's a lot of crab places in St. Pete, but the others don't compare. Krispy Krab by far has the best garlic sauce/crab juice flavor. I'm not a person who's huge on spice, but there's just enough kick in their mild sauce that makes it perfect. Not too much, not too little. They have the option to get your order spicy as well. Now it's not any kind of fancy establishment. Expect your typical crab shack setup, but it is pretty quaint in there. If you're there at a busier time, like the weekend, and there's a line, you will be standing outside. I have gone around 5/6pm on weekdays and haven't had to wait long. Prices and portions are reasonable. Rarely do I ever actually get crabs (I typically get what's pictured), but when I do, those are great too.

This is the #1 with garlic blue crabs, potatoes, shrimp, corn and sausage.

I'm from Georgia and love to get seafood while on vacay. Stopped at the Krispy Krab to get their infamous blue crabs. The place is small so as soon as you enter you're at the counter to order. There were many people inside so it was kinda hot, there is no organized ordering process so we asked one another if they had placed their order to make sure we weren't jumping the line. Placed my order for a #1, paid and sat in my car until I thought it was ready, wasn't told a specific time. Food- if you like spicy garlicky this is for you, it wasn't bad but I prefer garlicky, buttery and lemony. There was a lot to eat and I was able to share with my husband. Again, it wasn't bad so I'm pondering a revisit.

Spicy shrimp with potatoes, Boiled peanuts, corn bites and crab cakes (lemonade to wash it all down not posted:)

So delicious!!! Everything was fresh, hot, and fast. Regular customers were friendly and helped me with suggestions of their favorites since it was my first time. The woman that took my order, possibly the owner was sweet and took care in her food. Hidden local gem. 100 percent will be back.

I love a good hole-in-the-wall restaurant and I was super excited to try this place as I usually am pretty loyal to Crafty Crab. Unfortunately won't be coming back. The quality of the crab and shrimp was so poor I didn't have much desire to finish it all. The sauce is okay -- it's extremely acidic with lack of salt to balance it out. Prices were cheap which drew us there, but was very eh overall.

Crab cakes and hush puppies
Laura W.

The owner (?) is super friendly and kind. I just really wish the food was better. The sauce on the seafood and broccoli is just SO SO salty and the spices in it just were kind of strange together. The crab cakes and hush puppies were okay but I would not order them again.

What a shame, I enjoyed the food but despite asking the owner it was too spicy for my wife and the potatoes where really hot. I couldn't eat them. The owner said "not spicy" I wish they could hold the spice and just give garlic butter. There is another popular place seafood place that will just give garlic butter. Best we stick to them.

Hands down best plate of seafood I've eaten since we've moved to Florida. Came here based off some yelp reviews... I was getting my nails done in St Pete and thought I would stop. It's a hidden gem!!! I ordered the #17, which was supposed to have sausage, a crab cluster, and potatoes. I got multiple clusters, shrimp, and potatoes but I'm not even mad the order was incorrect. It. Is. So. Good!!! The sauce is super spicy, but I didn't even care. The man behind the counter could tell I was new. He was so friendly, showed me my plate before bagging it up and made small talk about the town we're living in. Sent a pic of my plate to my boyfriend and he was super jealous!!!!! Definitely will be coming back!

The sauce .....OMG.... Delicious...it does have a bit of a kick to it but trust me that didn't stop the bust down. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. I'd definitely make the drive to purchase again!

We've been in the area for 11 days, and this was hands down the best meal we've had. We came with a…read moregroup of nine, and every single person loved their food. The blackened grouper and snapper were perfectly seasoned and flaky. The shrimp was crisp and fresh. The lobster tail was tender and sweet. The hush puppies and fried okra were hot and delicious. Even the sides, broccoli (so so so good), slaw, and onion rings, were done right. You can tell this is real Florida seafood. The handwritten menu, the fresh seafood market inside, the casual outdoor seating with string lights ...it feels authentic, not touristy. But the best part? The owner, Matthew. He was welcoming, kind, and clearly passionate about the restaurant he and his wife have built. After the hurricanes, they've lost many repeat local customers, and businesses like this need visitors to show up. If you want fresh seafood, generous portions, fair prices, and a true local experience in the Treasure Island area, this is the place. We'll absolutely be back, and we're telling everyone we know. Support local. Support family-owned. They deserve to thrive.

I looked forward to my meal at Hookin' for months. I have never eaten blue crabs from the shell,…read moreand I love whole lobster, so I thought that deconstructing another type of crustacean would be fun. I got off the bus and walked across the street and into the parking lot. It was fairly busy, and I made my way to the patio area, because outside seating only. There was a kind of tiki bar with a line where you go up and get your own alcoholic beverage any time you want. You can eat at the bar or at any of the picnic tables that you pass on the way to a kind of food truck with a window where you order your food and buy bottles of soda and iced tea from a vat full of ice. I loved the vibes right away. I got in line at the "truck". Then it was my turn to order. Well, whaddaya know, they just ran out of blue crabs! And no soft-shell crabs were available as the water they live in is not warm enough yet. But they did have one of my favorite seafood delicacies, stone crab claws, so I ordered those instead, and asked for the mustard sauce instead of melted butter. I also ordered French fries and cole slaw for my sides. And then I ordered one-half dozen raw oysters, because. I was given a little wire stand with a card inserted into the top with my order number on it, to be placed on my table. Then I sauntered over to the bar and ordered an IPA from the busy, bearded and well-tattooed bartender. If you are wearing shades you will be admonished to remove them before paying, and I saw why, as the display on the... pay thingy has excessive polarization. Next I found a good spot in the shade and sipped my beer and checked the place out. Was there music? I think so, but I can't remember! Just all kinds of folks having a good time. Two preschoolers were busily playing in the sand by the main walkway to the food line, and took up most of the path most of the time, but nobody seemed to mind. If you aren't into playing with little trucks in the sand I think there is also corn hole off in one corner. If you don't know what that is, I dare you to look it up. After not too long some plates of food showed up, and I took some pictures and then got busy. First I tried the fries, because they are best when fresh and hot, but the fries were limp and sad. I just let their little ol' hand-cut selves alone. The oysters were served on the half shell on ice, and came with nice hot grated horseradish and cocktail sauce, plenty of lemon wedges, and saltine crackers. They were excellent! Then I turned my attention to the claws, glorious stone crab claws. I noticed that I was given butter instead of mustard sauce. That didn't stop me. But what did slow me down was the lack of a claw-cracker. The claws were pre-cracked a bit, but not in a way that was helpful to get at the meat. And I need leverage to rip the joints apart as my fingers don't work like they used to, so I asked for, and received quickly, a cracker. Some of the claws were on the small side, and the meat in some of the claws was a bit soft-feeling, but it was all pretty tasty. However, they fell short of my previous experiences elsewhere, including when I cooked some at home a few years ago. The cole slaw was very good. The young guy who brought my food and cracker tool was friendly, and quite funny. The woman who took my order was also nice. The bartender was just to busy to be anything but awesome. So all in all, the food was a bit of a letdown. I will try to go back for the crabs, and I saw hush puppies in a photo, that would be better than the fries.

We like the sister restaurant Brick & Mortar, but we LOVED Sea Worthy. We went on a Saturday night with my parents in town, and I was able to make a reservation for four by calling in advance. I'm glad I did, since it seemed like they had a steady flow of full seats. The hostess and waitress were both super friendly and welcoming. After drinks (cocktails were excellent), we started with the steamed mussels and a few different salads (grilled Ceasar, beet & goat cheese, and side salads), all of which were excellent. The mussels were savory and flavorful, cooked perfectly. The salads were fresh and had a nice mix of sweet and crunchy elements. My husband loved his grilled Ceasar salad (the one non-sweet salad), but be warned there are anchovies! For entrees, we got the fresh catch (grouper) with insanely delicious white beans (the crowd favorite, for sure, and best meal of the trip) and the seafood paella with shrimp, scallops, clams, and squid over crispy seasoned yellow rice with peas, which was also sooo good. The rice was rich, but the seafood was light and perfectly cooked. We ended with the star of the show: donut tres leches bread pudding! Sublime, but a reasonable portion so you don't hate yourself the next day. Please do save room for dessert!

Came here on recommendation from a client and was not disappointed!! Perfect casual spot!…read more Some street parking available, although I'm sure it's competitive on busy nights! Completely outdoor space with bar, small tables, and high tops for small to medium groups! Casual, beachy vibe, with umbrellas and tastefully modern beach decor. Bartender was incredibly friendly, offered wonderful recommendations, and remembered my name throughout my stay! Counter service food, separate from the bar. Fun seafood apps and an intentional mains menu make this a great spot for a light dinner or apps and drinks! I had the daily catch, which was amberjack, citrus rub, with slaw and taters. It was a lovely meal with flaky fish, tangy slaw, and decadent potatoes! Good value for the cost! Had the Gone Fishing to drink, which came served in a themed bobber glass. Rum-forward without being too boozy, balanced with sweetness and nuance from the tea. Surprisingly elevated for a beach bar vibe! Would absolutely recommend!

The prices were awesome: $1 oysters, $5 hush puppies, $5 tacos, $10 cocktails. Everyday from 4-6pm. At that price point you really can't go wrong! For us the oysters were the star of the show... were they the best looking oysters I've ever had? No. Were they amazing for a dollar each? Absolutely yes! The hush puppies were really good as well... not dry at all, perfectly done, and the dipping sauce alongside them was spot on. The tacos were a solid addition to the spread: good flavors, nothing that blew us away, but a nice way to round things out. The shrimp taco was the winner between the two, we'd probably skip the chicken next time. The chorizo creamed corn was a pleasant surprise as well, and I'm not even a big corn person! The outdoor patio has a really cute vibe too... we were there on a cloudy day and it was still charming. Would love to come back on a sunny afternoon and make a proper happy hour afternoon of it. The oysters alone are enough to bring us back. Trophy Fish has officially earned a spot in the regular rotation.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw they got AC and immediately asked my family to visit. We have gone several times since then and we LOVE it. We do make reservations, but there have been open tables for walk-ins each time we have gone. Service is top-notch. We have had the same server each time and he banters well with my family- which makes the experience even better. Now, for the food. I recommend going for happy hour, but we do not always eat that early. Happy hour has great deals on appetizers and drinks. I love their grouper cheek sliders and fish dip. The hot sauce on the table is a datil pepper sauce and so very good. My favorite entrees are the blackened grouper sandwich and the baja-style fish tacos. I really cant wait to try the burger, but I love the other items so much I have a hard time not ordering those each time I go. My husband enjoys oysters and does not trust them at many restaurants. He is willing to pay more for quality, fresh oysters. Cheeky's is the place to go for oysters. He ordered the "best" variety for raw and fell in love with them. He also really likes the lightly breaded and fried oysters. They are not greasy and perfectly cooked every time. Drinks are fantastic. I got a special on Kentucky Derby day, a mint julep and it was so tasty. I usually enjoy their mixed drinks and my husband mixes it up between beer and mixed drinks. Recommend all of them. Intrigued by the Salt & Vinegar martini, but have not tried it yet. The restaurant is usually loud, casual, and lively. I feel completely comfortable bringing my grandkids and not worrying about how loud they are. We love the 'old florida' feel and recommend trying this place. We are already regulars.

I tried the Florida orange spiked tea, which reminded me of a classy long island in ways. It was delicious and well balanced -- 8.5/10. I was happy they had mocktails for my friends, too. It was a super inclusive menu overall. the fish tacos were substantial -- the fish was massive and so flavorful. A thick crispy shell of batter and moist, shiny and well-cooked fish on the inside. The fish was layered on top of a shredded lettuce/slaw/carrot mixture and a zesty, tangy sauce. loved this!! 8/10 I loved the texture, shape, length and crispy of the fries but sadly, my fries were super salty and it made them hard to eat. That might just be a one-off, don't let this deter you, the tacos were a standout. My friend tried the salmon dish and forced me to taste it. It was so unfortunate but the salmon was dry and lacked flavor. The only flavor I could taste was charred lemon and not in a balanced way, but in a sour way. Hush puppies were ok, nothing to write home about. Our waiter was cool! I hate having to ask for water :( but they were doing their best!!! The restaurant itself has a rustic maritime vibe, lots of wood and hanging fish and plank tables. I dig the vibe here! Casual, cute. I will be going back for happy hour and I'll update this when I do!
