Two Women, Passionate for Crabs

FIFI BELL – CLANTON

FOUNDER, CO-OWNER

In Philadelphia, where Fifi grew up, crabs are a popular fare. Many neighborhoods have crab places serving up Blue crab, Dungeness crab and Alaskan Snow crab.

​

Not so in New York. Fifi found herself frequenting the market in order to make them herself. Preparing crab perfection became a passion and it became a dream to open a restaurant dedicated to serving delicious crabs in Brooklyn!

GWEN WOODS

FOUNDER, CO-OWNER

Gwen grew up with a family tradition of crab. Her father is from the Chesapeake Bay area and as a treat for the family, always brought crabs back after visiting his home.

​

Like Fifi, Gwen was also frustrated by the severe lack of crab in New York. It was one night at a dinner party at Gwen’s house when Fifi brought up the idea of opening a crab restaurant. A year later The Crabby Shack was born.
