Social Profile:

Award-winning seafood restaurant and oyster farm situated in a breath-takin part of Dorset, looking out over Chesil beach. We have our own Portland Oyster beds just a stone’s throw from the restaurant so you can enjoy fresh Oysters on your table within minutes of them leaving the water! We also specialise in other types of seafood, most loved is the fresh, local Crabs. Other than our popular Crabs, the menu at the Crab House consists of delicious fish & seafood recipes all from fish landed within 40 miles.

A rustic seaside hut with tables standing on sand belies a menu of upscale fresh seafood dishes.

We travelled from Swansea to see what all the hype was about, and boy was it worth the drive. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by welcoming staff who gave us a choice of seating, including a view of where the magic happens in the kitchen. We were offered water straight away and even got a bit of the restaurant’s history, including how the fresh seafood is caught. A great start.
We went straight in for the famous crab — both the classic and the Chinese style. At first, we eyed the tools in front of us like a pair of confused cavemen wondering what on earth to do next. But after a moment of hesitation, we embraced the chaos and got stuck in, enthusiastically bashing away at the shells. Any shyness quickly disappeared — we attacked those crabs like absolute savages. Honestly, they didn’t stand a chance.
There’s no classy way to eat this, and that’s exactly the fun of it. Bib on, tools in hand, dive right in and accept the delicious mess.
The staff checked on us throughout the meal and made sure everything was spot on. The bib definitely earned its keep!
We absolutely loved the whole experience — it’s something we just don’t get back home. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and a lot of laughs along the way.
We can’t wait to come back and do battle with another crab soon.

Don’t really want to tell you how excellent this place was and if you like seafood this establishment will not disappoint you. Everything about the place leaves you in awe. Please do not miss
out on the culinary experience that will leave you wanting to go back for more. You can see the chefs at work whipping up each corse with fresh locally sourced fish and shellfish. They even farm their own oysters and you can even see the oysters in the next room. Everything is on show and there is a story everywhere you look.

I will let the photos tell there own story with tastes and flavours that you will have to try.

Fresh, brilliant and delicious seafood on offer at a reasonable price, all with immaculate presentation. Service was great, atmosphere was cozy, brilliant ocean views. Reservations in advance are highly recommended (especially for good seats)!

What a fantastic spot. The food was amazing and the service exceptional. We ordered a number of starters to share with a couple of sides and they moved us to a bigger table so we could fit it all on. The crab starter was my favourite and the sauce the mussels came in was delicious.

Great and interesting food. Good service. Only slight gripe was that we had to sit in the covered terrace area as we had a dog and despite the overhead heaters it was very drafty and cold. We would take blankets for our knees next time.

Honestly, 3rd year in a row we have been here and it never disappoints. Once again we were lucky enough to get the table for 2 next to the pass, so we saw everyone else’s dishes as well as our own. Crab and sardine starters were superb, my wife’s stuffed sole was great, my lobster came in a bowl of the most delicious liquid I have ever tasted. It’s great to find a seafood restaurant that just does seafood, and there are always multiple things that temp on a changing menu. You will need to book ahead (we took a guess when we would be sailing in to Portland and adjusted our trip to make sure we could be here). If you love seafood you will love this place. And every single person we interacted with here were professional, enthusiastic and friendly.

Been coming here for over 20 years, since it was Abbotsbury Oysters, love the food, the oysters, the atmosphere and great service too.
Friendly atmosphere, I recommend booking to guarantee a table.
Plenty of seating areas to chose from and some are also dog friendly.
The menu is full of choice which makes decisions difficult!

My wife and stepsons took me out for my birthday dinner. Fantastic food, great service and absolutely perfect ambience. Lovely rustic chic and brilliant food. The only disappointment was my wife’s bellini. Tasted great but presentation was a bit off. Food still gets 5 stars because it was absolutely phenomenal. We came all the way from Southampton just off this meal and we were not let down at all.
