The calamari was amongst the best I have had. I had the mussels, which were amazing. My friend had the clams with chorizo that I tried, also amazing. My husband had the chowder and loved it. My other friend had the fish and chips, and loved it. My British husband totally approved of the fish and chips. He said that this is our new go to place for fish and chips. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes!!!!

If you are ever in Oceanside, California, and you like seafood and Cajun seasoning, highly…read morerecommend checking out The Crab Pub on Mission Ave. The Crab Pub is a seafood boil restaurant that is located in the inland of Oceanside and not near the overcrowded downtown area. They can be accessed via Highway 76 and getting on Mission Avenue. The shopping plaza they are in allows for ample parking space. The Crab Pub has a spacious interior and there's plenty of big tables for groups and families. They also have a separate dining area set aside from the main space and they also have a party room that can be reserved. Service was fast and attentive and there was very little wait time. There is also a bar on premise, but they do not have a hard liquor license just yet. But you can always enjoy a beer or my favorite is Soju. One of my favorite meals here is a crab boil bag that contains mussels, shrimp, crawfish, potatoes, corn, boiled eggs, and crab legs. I like to get this with their pub sauce. The Cajun seasoning is so flavorful! Their crawfish are pretty decent in size and I may sometimes order a bag on the side. For starters, their fried calamari is OK, but doesn't come as crispy as I would like. But I like their clam chowder and I love their cheesy garlic bread! Overall, I've eaten at the Crab Pub twice, and I've loved both experiences, and I will definitely come back for their seafood. I'm very picky about where I go to eat seafood for fear of getting sick and this place is a safe bet

It's become a place that my husband and I return to, and take our visitors. My mouth is savoring at the thought of the fish and chips.

The seasoning and sauce were also delicious. I was a huge fan of the tuna in the sampler. There was a spicy option I wasn't a huge fan of.

We get lobster rolls maybe once a year at the most primarily because they are just too darn…read moreexpensive to work into our normal rotation. This place sells their "normal" lobster roll for $30 each. I know prices on everything have gone through the roof (thanks, Iran War) but that is a lot of money. I have no complaints whatsoever about the roll. For the "normal" roll (that's what they call it), there was plenty of lobster and it was great. The toasted buttered bread is especially delicious. But for the price....$30 is basically the cost of a meal at a sit-down restaurant. So you always have to balance quality, quantity, and price. Incidentally, on the menu, there is no reference to "Maine" versus "Connecticut" style rolls. (My understanding is that the lobster in a Maine roll is cold and is dressed with mayo while the Connecticut lobster is served warm and is more buttery.) The video screen above the counter to this place mentions you can order it either way. The menu should also say this but whatever, this is just an FYI. If you don't specify a style, you will get the more popular Maine roll. I saw a number of people getting lobster rolls so apparently others are willing to spring the big bucks for this dish. It is delicious but you decide if it is worth it for you.
