Crafty Crab: Build-Your-Own Seafood Boils in Boynton Beach

Crafty Crab brings the Cajun-style seafood boil format to North Congress Avenue in Boynton Beach, part of a national chain built around build-your-own boil bags rather than a fixed menu of plated seafood dinners.

Snow Crab, Crawfish, and a Boil Sauce You Mix Yourself

Diners choose their own seafood by the pound — snow crab legs, king crab legs, whole or headless shrimp, crawfish, lobster tail, clams, mussels, and calamari rings among the options — then pick a signature sauce: Crafty Cajun, Buttery Garlic, Lemon Pepper, or "The BOOM," with mild, medium, fire, or dry spice levels, or a mix of flavors for a custom boil. Pre-set combos like snow crab with headless shrimp or a king crab-and-crawfish pairing simplify the choice for first-timers, and chicken tenders are on hand for anyone at the table who skips seafood entirely.

A Casual, Hands-On Seafood Spot

The format is built for rolled-up sleeves and bibs rather than white tablecloths, with bags of boiled seafood dumped straight onto butcher paper at the table. It's a late-hours spot too, staying open until midnight on weeknights and around the clock on weekends, making it a go-to for a messy, communal seafood dinner well after most kitchens in the area have closed.
