Why Londoners Love Seafood

Londoners have a long-standing love affair with seafood. 

With the Thames River flowing throughout and easy access to coastal towns nearby, it’s always been a hub for high-quality produce and here at Big Easy, we love serving up the freshest lobsters, crabs and shrimp to our happy customers. 

We’re proud to play our part in the seafood scene in London, bringing the flavours of the sea to life with our delicious dishes.

We like to do things a little differently here at Big Easy; seafood dining with us is more than just a meal – it's an experience. 

We prepare it in front of you and put on a show with every meal. Steaming and preparing a lobster is an art form and our chefs are experts. Ther'es no wonder we're seen as one of the best lobster restaurants in London!

This theatrical aspect of seafood dining makes it perfect for special occasions and gatherings, where the process of selecting, preparing and digging into succulent plates of seafood becomes a shared, memorable event.

For many Londoners, enjoying seafood is also a way to treat themselves. There's a certain indulgence associated with lobsters, crabs, and shrimp which makes it a great choice to celebrate a special occasion and there’s no better place to dive in than Big Easy.

The Benefits of Eating Seafood

Eating seafood is not only a delight for the taste buds but also comes with numerous health benefits.

• Rich in Nutrients: Seafood is packed with essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are crucial for maintaining heart health, brain function and overall well-being.

• Low in Calories: Most seafood is low in calories and high in protein, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a healthy weight.

• Boosts Brain Health: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish like salmon and mackerel are known to support brain health and cognitive function.

• Improves Heart Health: Regular consumption of seafood can reduce the risk of heart disease due to its high levels of beneficial fats and antioxidants.

• Supports Joint Health: The anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce symptoms of arthritis and support joint health.

It doesn’t just taste great, but it’s also good for you. What’s not to love?

Here’s a closer look at some of our standout offerings:

‍

CRABSHACK COMBO FROM OUR WOOD BURNING OVEN – £26.90

The Crabshack Combo is a seafood lover's dream come true. 

This dish features a delightful mix of snow crab legs, peel ‘n’ eat shrimp, mussels, clams and new potatoes. 

Each component is carefully selected to ensure maximum freshness and flavour. The snow crab legs offer sweet, tender meat that's easy to extract from the shell. The peel ‘n’ eat shrimp are cooked to perfection, making them easy to shell and enjoy. Mussels and clams add a briny richness that complements the other ingredients beautifully.

The combo can be served in two styles: hot ‘n’ spicy or with garlic white wine cream. 

The hot ‘n’ spicy option adds a zesty kick, perfect for those who enjoy bold flavours. Alternatively, the garlic white wine cream provides a rich, buttery sauce that enhances the natural sweetness of the seafood.

The toasted sourdough served alongside is perfect for soaking up every last drop of the delicious sauce as once you’ve had a taste, you’ll be sure to not waste a drop.

Like the Crabshack Combo, the Lobster Bake can be enjoyed hot ‘n’ spicy or with garlic white wine cream. The hot ‘n’ spicy version is vibrant and bold, ideal for those who love a bit of heat. The garlic white wine cream offers a luxurious, silky sauce that elevates the dish to new heights.
