The Cajun Kings

We discovered The Cajun Kings a few weeks ago, when our friends who lived in the area insisted on bringing us there. It's a fairly unpretentious place, but not quite as inexpensive as we would like. Their seafood is very fresh though, which is important, so at least you don't feel that you're being ripped off - just being extravagant :)

They have bibs, mallets and limes+salt for dipping. Putting on the bibs definitely added to the novelty.

We tried a serve of the pork crackling - it was hot, crispy and not too fatty.

The place was super packed on a weekday night - they seem to be doing a really good business.

We ordered a total of 3 different flavours, but it was practically impossible to photograph the food properly while it was still in plastic bags. If it wasn't so yummy, I wouldn't have been writing this post., given the lack of decent photos. We had clams+mussels in garlic butter, dungeness crab plain boiled and another dungeness crab+red sea prawns in the King's Mix which was a spicy cajun paste.

 

 

The dungeness crab in the King's Mix, although I didn't manage to photograph the prawns. The cajun spice mix was pretty good, and so was the garlic butter.

The damage after - no plates no cutlery, just hands on the table - after which they just wrap up the entire mess and throw it away.

We must have paid almost $70-80 per person, and while it wasn't cheap, it was a very enjoyable meal. We're likely to go back again, but only for a special occasion.
