Straight off
the boat,
onto your plate.

A family-run seafood shack on Worthing seafront with a big terrace over the sea. We buy the freshest local catch, keep the menu small, and cook everything to order. That is the whole trick.

The Shack

Small menu.
Serious seafood.

Crabshack is a family-owned seafood restaurant with a large terrace looking straight out over the water. The philosophy is simple: source the freshest local fish and shellfish, serve it with proper drinks and a warm welcome, and let the ingredients do the talking.

Word of mouth

Regulars say it best.

★★★★★
"So rare to get freshly caught and freshly cooked food straight to your plate these days. Very well presented, and always great when the chef comes out and talks you through your choice. Can't wait to go again."
Mark Stuart-William
★★★★★
"A gem of a place for a winter warmer delight. The fish pie is sublime, and today's special, cod, tapenade, samphire, crunchy spuds, is out of this world."
Emma Claire
★★★★★
"My favourite place in the whole world. In no particular order, the food, staff, location and of course the beer are as good as it gets."
