Co-owners Gwen Woods and Fifi Bell had no prior food industry experience and left careers in fashion and music to open The Crabby Shack, a home-style restaurant that serves the crab dishes both grew up on. Their “seafood with soul” take on crab, lobster and other ocean delights is so popular they added a second location in Brooklyn and they also ship nationally.
