We proudly serve the finest Pacific caught Dungeness crab, Alaskan red King crab legs and Alaskan Killer crab claws, cold water western Australian lobster, fresh caught Dana Point spiny lobster, King salmon farmed from Norway and Canada, local channel island caught White Sea Bass, Alaskan Halibut and much more. We fish all over the world and are against Net fishing which depletes the ocean fisheries. Therefore we advocate, promote and use hook and line caught fish for the future of our ocean fisheries. Hook and line fishing will not hurt the reproductive capability of the school of fish.

The truth is, our owner, Bob Roubian, isn’t really a chef. He is an accomplished fisherman who has become a world-renowned expert on all aspects of fish and seafood. Bob learned the mesquite broil when he was 11 years old during the depression and has found that this healthy and tasty method of cooking enhances the delicate flavors of quality seafood, where other cooking methods may hide or overpower the fish’s wonderful subtle flavors. As Bob says, "good fish is easy to cook, let the taste that God gave it shine through by using a hot fire and light seasoning.

To ensure quality control we process and smoke our fish daily on our own premises. We also bake and cook fresh daily, our own fisherman’s bread and breadsticks, along with our clam chowder, romano potatoes and more. Our staff is like family; one manager has been with us for 45 years and some waitresses have been here for 35 years. Together we work hard to make every detail perfect for your meal at the Crab Cooker. Here at the Crab Cooker the customer is king! We take great pride in serving the world’s finest seafood. I want every person to feel wonderful after they eat here. I hope you pay us a visit soon and enjoy a delicious meal of the world’s best seafood.
