The Barking Crab
About
The Barking Crab is a casual waterfront seafood restaurant on Fort Point Channel with the feel of a coastal clam shack in the middle of the city. Guests sit at open-air picnic tables and order fresh crabs, lobsters and day-boat fish brought in each morning, with views of Boston Harbor. The menu leans on New England classics such as lobster rolls.
The restaurant opened in 1994 as a seasonal outdoor spot for lobster rolls and longneck beers and has grown into a year-round operation. Its expansive deck sits under a distinctive yellow and red striped tent for summer nights, and a wood-burning stove keeps things warm in winter. After three decades, it welcomes a mix of locals and visitors from around the world to the Seaport waterfront.
