Most of the food at Seafood Mixer leaves in a foil tray. It's a small counter at 1812 Seward Avenue in Clason Point, and people mostly call ahead, pick up and eat at home.

What comes out of the kitchen
The crab legs are the reason to go. Snow crab clusters are packed into foil and the butter sauce goes on until the corn and potatoes are sitting in it. If you're driving more than ten minutes, ask for extra sauce on the side so the legs don't dry out on the way home.
Blue crabs come seasoned by the tray. They take more work than snow crab and more paper towels, but there's more flavour in the shell.

There's also a classic boil tray with shrimp, corn and potatoes, and a fried side of the menu with fried shrimp and fish by the plate.

The sides are half the order
This isn't a boil-only place. Mac & cheese, collard greens and fried fish sit next to the seafood, which makes it an easy family order when not everyone wants to crack shells.
