What People Say

"If you’re in Wellington and love seafood, Crab Shack is an absolute must."

Reviewers consistently praise the friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, and delicious seafood dishes.

"Enjoyed the grilled catch of the day and the fish & chips together with sides of seafood chowder and a soft loaf of bread and butter. Food was delicious and was deserved quickly. Service was fuss-free. Had a lovely afternoon lunch and I’d be interested to come back to try a bucket of crabs!"
