Cajun-style seafood chain coming to Hawaii
COURTESY BOILING CRAB
Boiling Crab’s Whole Shabang sauce coats a bag of shrimp with corn, potatoes and andouille sausage. Shrimp is one of the chain’s most popular seafood items.
The California-based Boiling Crab Restaurant Group plans to open its first Hawaii restaurant early next year.
The lease has been signed and architectural plans created for the company-owned, stand-alone restaurant at 330 Coral St. in Kakaako.
The seven-location chain, specializing in Cajun-style seafood, also announced plans to expand its five California locations to nine, with four new restaurants in Sacramento, Burbank and Woodland Hills/Calabasas. A franchised location will open in Rosemead, Calif.
The Boiling Crab also has locations in Las Vegas and Dallas.
A spate of crab-boil-type restaurants opened in Hawaii several years ago, with many still operating.

The fad is sooooooooo pau.
And there goes that Indie-bohemian chic Kam Schools been tellin’ all about.
Good Luck!
Doesn’t matter if it’s Cajun style, Chinese style, or no style. It’ll still be low grade, frozen pieces of c…..p.
If you want good/authentic Cajun/Creole food… go to N’Awlins !!!!
Never could appreciate unpeeled shrimp in sauce, whether Chinese style or now Cajun style. Too messy to unpeel. Just boil shrimp in water and peel away without leaving a mess.
Never heard of it.
oh for crying out loud. another crappy chain bringing unsustainable food to the islands. A huge carbon footprint with jobs that will crappy
Boiling crab will put the imitators out of business!
Bombass food!
More franchised junk! In-N-Out and Trader Joe’s will not come here because they are not a franchised operation and each store is own by the corporation. As a result they have tight control over quality and operations.
Where is the shrimp/prawn raised & harvested?
Somewhere clean??
