"BBQ" Crab in Webster, TX (Floyd's Cajun Seafood)

The title has quotation marks because there is nothing BBQ-like about the popular southeast Texas preparation with this name. These babies are deep fried after getting a hefty coating of cayenne/ garlic salt based spice rub. I tried them today at Floyd's in Webster, and they were damn good. Crab this fresh and in-season is probably going to be good no matter what you do with it, but I thought the frying really locked in that crab flavor, and the spicy, salty rub balanced the sweetness of the meat. I ate a half dozen with 3 Abita Turbodogs and a "side" half dozen of boiled gulf shrimp with horseradish and lemon before rolling myself back to the hotel.

BBQ Crab at Floyd's:

These were small and not as meaty as other blue crabs I've had, but the flavor was great. At 3 bucks each, they were pretty cheap by Chicago standards for sure, but probably not so for these parts.


The bar at Frank's

A raucous crowd was drinking heavily while getting ready to watch football. Friendly folks, though their mouths made them not particularly good company for the one lady in their presence. Floyd's - at least tonight - was a place for manly men. The jovial, lewd conversation might have even made G Wiv blush.


I've had good eats in the Houston area so far, with Floyd's being the most unique place so far, the likes of which one cannot find in Chicago.
