My qualifications: I drove all around the state to find the best seafood boil. My order: ½ lb snow crab, ½ lb mussels, ½ shrimp in whatever their combo sauce is! It's really important to me that the sauce is SCOOPABLE and not too runny.

The sauce is THICK and ON POINT. Only made better by the incredibly friendly service. Warning: the spice is spicy! So maybe go mild unless you're adventurous.
The Boiling Crab (Cambridge)
Hands down the best value. Hot tip: if you order from Uber Eats sometimes there is a buy one get one boil deal!
King Crab Juicy Seafood (Saugus)
Flavorful, priced well, and decently scoopable sauce. Big fan!
Holly Crab (Lowell)
Fresh seafood and great tasting sauce. Super popular spot so be prepared to wait
Cap't Loui - Cajun Seafood Boil (Stoneham)
Docking points for not giving me a bib, but giving points for having the nicest takeout bags. The sauce was a little liquidy for me
Red Crab Juicy Seafood (Brockton)
The sauce was a little bit sweet? Wasn't expecting that. It was also veryyyy liquidy, but the seafood was good
Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar (Revere)
Best part about this was the lemonade. I feel like they frequently overcook their potatoes and corn
Shaking Crab (Newton)
It's a no from me dawg. Some of my shrimp weren't deveined and overall the sauce was watery.
