CrabCatcher-La Jolla

La Jolla cove, a destination spot for sun lovers, surfers and water babies... Even during the may gray period.. With plenty o artisan jewelry shop, art galleries and classic hotel spots such as La Valencia, the eating establishments have garnered a variety of popular dining spots.

If you live seafood, head over to Crabcatcher. With views of the ocean and the cove, and plenty of oysters, mussels, lobster and of course crab, a sunny afternoon can be a superb California experience:



Welcome the crabby Mary:


A crab claw infused bloody, meaty claws and a little vodka will pacify any crabiness..


Fresh baked croissants (a little odd but hey it's brunch) and garlic toppled focaccia bread were fantastic:


The special of the day was a live Maine lobster, 1.5 lbs, grilled and glazed with a light lemon butter, grilled gulf prawns with red pepper and a pound of king crab legs!


Split open to char the fleshy meat, brushed with a light lemon sauce lobsterlicious...

The king crab legs were fit for a king:



Foot long with tender succulent crab meat, an art to remove the meat, but with a splash of lemon was a simple perfection..

Go catch em crabs, it's crab season after all!
