Crabshakk (West End)

• One of the aforementioned is a seafood place called Crabshakk
• I had been told it was on Argyle Street (Finnieston) but they have the tiniest sign so I went past it without knowing numerous times
• We had to book a week in advance to get said table and were told that it was &lsquo
• We took it anyway but when I arrived I was shocked that anyone could balance a meal on the shelf of a table in front of me
• D be lucky to squeeze two plates and two glasses of wine on there so when my friend arrived we asked if there was anywhere else we could possibly go
• We sat with the menu for a while but no decisions were forthcoming so after lots of questions for the waiter we ordered a bunch of food to share
• I felt like a right rah drinking prosecco and eating oysters but it was a birthday meal
• The crab claws were ordered because we saw the crab cakes go out to another table and they looked small but we fancied crab so went for the claws
• My only criticism was that the portion size was small for the price &ndash
• The other starter was picked from the specials board &ndash
• The portion size was appropriate
• The queenies were cooked perfectly and the coral butter was moreish
• We loved it and if it was on the menu all the time I&rsquo
• Next to come were the fish and chips and the pasta vongole
• The fish inside the batter was nice but the chips were not soft inside
• The vongole pasta was spaghetti with clams in their shells in a simple olive oil dressing and a hint of chilli
• The rest of the dish was lacking flavour though
• That sounds like a lot of food the portions are not big so we managed dessert (we sat for at least 3 hours in total
• The panna cotta came with some stewed fruit in liqueur
• T remember what the waiter said it was but it wasn&rsquo
• In our defence the stools are really close to each other but they were a sweet pair
• M going to order specials in the hope that they are as special as the queenies were
• Coming from a country with very good seafood
