Messy seafood is about to get a new home on Atlantic Avenue. Crab N' Spice, the casual seafood boil chain, is opening a new location in Cudahy Plaza and expects to launch this spring. The new unit is listed as 8017 Atlantic Ave., Suite 103, and will be run by franchisee Kevin Maranan, who already operates a Crab N' Spice in nearby Carson. The brand is best known for hands-on seafood boils served in plastic bags with bold sauces and generous portions, and the arrival gives Atlantic Avenue one more late-night, family-friendly dining option.
As reported by What Now Los Angeles, the opening appears on a recent California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control filing. The outlet quoted Maranan as saying the team is in the final stages of preparing to open this spring.
Where It Will Sit
The restaurant will take a spot inside Cudahy Plaza, a busy shopping center on South Atlantic Avenue. The property's leasing page lists Crab N' Spice in the tenant lineup and highlights anchors such as Sprouts and Burlington, according to Brixmor. For locals, that means the seafood boils will land right in the middle of a well-trafficked retail hub.
What They'll Serve
Crab N' Spice centers its menu on catch-of-the-day seafood boils: shrimp, clams, mussels, snow crab, and lobster tail, with multiple spice levels and flavor options. Combos like the Captain's Choice pair several proteins with corn, potatoes, and sausage, and the brand lists locations across California, Nevada, and Arizona on its site.
The brand has been expanding around Southern California and into Las Vegas, leaning on all-you-can-eat formats that draw families and groups. Its Las Vegas growth and push into new neighborhoods underscore how quickly the footprint is building out.
No official grand-opening date has been posted yet; Maranan told What Now Los Angeles the team expects to open this spring. We will update when a firm date and grand-opening plan are announced.
