Recently, I've been on a mission to check out the impressive hold that various restaurants have on Oklahoma City's landlocked seafood market.
From affordable $5.99 lunch buffets to traditional favorites to new critical darlings, the variety of delectable fish, shrimp, and crabs around town is enough to make any seafood lover's eyes water.
This reflection was sparked by Norman's new salt-water gem, the Dancing Crab, located at 149 12th Ave.
Originally occupying the long-forgotten grounds of a nameless Chinese restaurant, the lively Dancing Crab, with its spindly crustacean mascot, was recommended to me. It evoked fond memories of local seafood joints from the nineties, complete with crab bibs.
Despite the dining room being bustling with two large families cracking shells nearby, I had my bib tied and was ready to dive into these aquatic dishes. Taking my mother out for a fine seafood experience, we started with some appetizers, and after a few minutes, it was time to indulge.
