Hooked On Crab

872 Eastlake Parkway, #510, Chula Vista, CA

One of the many eateries in a cute Euro-village-type mall, Village Walk at Eastlake. The interior offers a big space filled with planky wooden tables, and plenty of stuffed mega fishes swimming through the air, a long counter bobbing with colored glass ball net buoys, and artifacts such as ships’ wheels strewn around the place.

Seafood pasta is only $8.99 for a plate. Vegetable pasta is $7.99. Shrimp garlic noodle goes for $8.99, and hey, a half sandwich combo with cajun fries is $9.99. And you have a choice with this: a half po’ boy stuffed with langoustine lobster or shrimp, plus you get a small cup of clam chowder or a Caesar kale salad. They have a happy hour, too: apart from the usual fries/Brussels sprouts deals, they have a pound of clams for $6.99. Incredible. Or a pound of shrimp for $11.99. Comes with that house sauce, of course, at whatever spicy level you want.

  • Prices: 1 pound of clams, $6.99 (Happy Hour price); grilled street corn, $3.50 (HH); all-day snow crab, $17.99/lb, Mondays only; seafood pasta, $8.99 (lunchtimes only, Monday-Thursday 11 am-3 pm), $15.99 (dinner price); baked scallops, $11.49; 1/2 sandwich combo w/cajun fries (langoustine lobster or shrimp plus clam chowder or salad), $9.99; baked mussels, $9.19; vegetable pasta, $7.99; shrimp garlic noodles, $8.99; Hooked On Crab family combo deals, from $45.99 to $112.69
