Usually reviewers visit a restaurant several times before developing an opinion worth publishing. However, the VALENTINE’S DAY SEAFOOD LOVERS SPECIAL at the The Blue Crab Restaurant and Grill is such a fantastic deal we could not resist letting you know about it. This celebration of lover’s day is being held in this restaurant found in the Shops of Suburban Plaza on Suburban Drive off of Elkton Road in Newark, Delaware.
The restaurant has a coral display in an aquarium found in the middle of modern French tables and booths. The shopping center façade is totally misleading. This is an upbeat exquisite medium priced restaurant with an “under the sea” décor. The bar is in a corner in the back with a neon sign over top to direct Valentine’s Day celebrators if it turns out you would like to enjoy one another’s company and chat after the Valentine’s Day celebration.
Here is the deal for this evening’s dinner fare:
The Appetizer Course has two choices:
Wild Mushroom and Lobster Bisque
or
Smoked Seafood Sampler
The First Course includes:
Baked Scallops Mornay with Mushrooms
or
Crab Imperial with Artichoke and Spinach
For the Second Course:
2 pound Steamed Main Lobster
1 pound of Mussels
1 Dozen Steamed Little Neck Clams
½ pound Steamed Large Shrimp with Old Bay and Lemon in Beer with Andouillie Sausage, Peppers, and onions
or
Twin Crab Imperial Stuffed Lobster Tails
With Grilled Beef Tenderloin
Then
Your choice of desserts

If you already have plans for Valentine’s Day consider this restaurant’s February 26th schedule:
They are having a Moonshine Martinis and Listening to Grass Roots musical evening. Oysters on the half shell will cost $.50 a piece. A band called the “Jersey Corn Pickers Dreamweaver” will be performing. They have a special menu planned just for countrified folks
The Blue Crab Griil has a special list of beers that they recommend for seafood. If you are not an expert at beers, but recognize how suitable they are with seafood feasts let this restaurant give you some recommendations. At the top of their list they offer Rogue Santa’s Private Reserve. You just might find one of your own favorites already on their gourmet beer list, we did.
