Review: Red Crab Juicy Seafood
Red Crab Juicy Seafood is a great new addition to the Toledo seafood scene. Red Crab Juicy Seafood is a Cajun inspired restaurant featuring an extensive fresh crab, shrimp, and mollusk menu. I decided to try to the Sunday special 1 Lobster tail, 1/2 lb. shrimp, 1/2 lb snow crab and a fried shrimp basket. I elected for the pickup option.
