I like how here the seafood boils come with a bit of everything so you don’t have to deal with ordering different seafood by the pound. It comes with crab legs, mussels, clams, prawns, potatoes, and corn on the cob. The garlic butter sauce was my favourite because it was flavourful, but the taste of the seafood didn’t get lost in it.
The House Special Spicy flavour was also purely spicy so I didn’t try too much of it. I feel like when you pair seafood with flavours that are so strong, you lose the simplicity of it. I personally like to taste seafood with little to no seasoning so needless to say, I didn’t go goo goo ga ga over this.
I got an invite from Raymond at ChineseBites to try Yaletown’s newest seafood bar: 21 Nautical Miles. Described as “high end Asian fusion”, this restaurant is becoming well-known for their Chinese-style seafood boils. Their Seafood Party dish ($38.95 per person, minimum 2 people); consists of BC Dungeness crab, selva tiger prawns, blue mussels, and clams. Alaskan king crab lobster tail and snow crab are available for an extra charge – trust me, you want to order the snow crab. The Seafood Party comes in three flavours with five different spice levels: garlic butter, black pepper, Xi’an spicy, and house special spicy. As proud members of Ocean Wise, 21 Nautical Miles Seafood Bar only serves sustainable, ocean-friendly seafood.
