I thought I posted this, but didn't see it. My husband and I are taking our 19 yr old nephew from South Africa to Newport Beach/Balboa Island. Need recommendations for a good lunch place - some plain old GOOD seafood. I was trying to remember a place called something like the Crab Shack or Crab Cooker??? It's been around forever and is a local favorite.

Yes, its the Crab Cooker..was just there about 3 weeks ago...its on main drag on the Penninsula....still there going strong!

Yeah, Crab Cooker. Great food. A paper plate, plastic table kind of place. The seafood is very fresh.

The area is loaded with other good seafood places too.

The Crab Cooker-- it's always great, especially perfect to take a 19 year old for lunch. Have fun and "Eat Lotsa Fish"!

If you look on the window wall by the hostess table, you'll find free Crab Cooker red postcards. You and your nephew could write them, and the restaurant will even mail them for free.
