Another restaurant featuring Cajun seafood may be on its way to the Boston area, with this one being just off a busy stretch of Route 1.
The Saugus Advertiser is reporting that King Crab Juicy Seafood is planning to open within the plaza on Main Street that is home to Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys Burgers and Fries. The article mentions that the dining spot--which could have seating for as many as 160 people--will focus on "Cajun-style seafood boil" dishes including such items as lobster, clams, shrimp, crab, catfish, tilapia, crawfish, oysters, shrimp, and mussels. If all goes as planned, King Grab Juicy Seafood could be opening in July.
A number of other Cajun-style seafood restaurants have opened in the Boston area over the past few years, including Bootleg Special, Holly Crab, Shaking Crab, and Cap't Loui.
The address for this upcoming restaurant in Saugus is: King Crab Juicy Seafood, 180 Main Street, Saugus, MA, 01906.
[December 26 update: A Facebook post and comment from the place hint that King Crab could be very close to opening, as the comment (which was posted earlier this month) mentioned that the restaurant was planning to open by late this month.]
[February 6, 2020 update: The Saugus Advertiser indicates that King Crab could be only a few days away from opening, as it is in the final stages of the permitting/inspection process.]
