So you’re indecisive. While your restaurant choice might obviously be (ahm) The Dancing Crab, once seated at our table you struggle deciding between the Fish, the Crabcake, or the Jumbo Shrimp. While your friends or significant other look on and conclude that you are a jumbo pain in the neck, have no worries my friend, we understand. This is a crucial decision- not to mention the fact that you are spending your hard-earned money but you truly want a meal that not just quiets your hunger, but gives you an experience.

The geniuses here at The Dancing Crab have come up with a solution so you can have it all, at a great price, and it’s name is The Mixed Bay Platter. Fillet of fish, Shrimp, and Oysters with a Maryland Style Crabcake for only $27!
