I’ll admit I was flabbergasted when I saw the "coming soon" sign across a Submarine Crab. Another nondescript, seedy-looking complex now slinging sacks of seafood boil.
Turns out the owners are locals, and the opening of this Garden Grove giant may be the best thing that’s happened to me all year. This is the south bay’s best seafood boil to date, and their Torpedo sauce rocks. It hits but not too hard if it's mild, and it covers every inch of every shellfish. The crawfish are sizeable, with firm and fresh tails that pluck right out. Shrimp in their shells are succulent, and juicy little clams and tender mussels soak through with sauce. The Mini Sampler is the best deal for two, and you even get some corn, potatoes, and sausage.
Plenty of other items on the menu to supplement your seafood if you wish. Unnecessary but available. Popcorn Chicken is deliciously, freshly fried,
and Garlic Noodles are pretty great, just chewy and buttery with a garlic bite. Only order if you like garlic.
Eat there if you'd like, but their takeout option is pretty great for a night in front of the TV or at a rowdy family dinner. They include paper for easy cleanup and gloves in every bag so you can enjoy it anywhere you like, emphasis on the JOY.
