About This Place

Nestled along Schaefer Highway in Detroit, Fred’s Crab Shack invites seafood lovers into a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere where savory aromas and bold flavors come together in perfect harmony. Specializing in fresh, mouthwatering seafood dishes, this local gem captures the true essence of a coastal feast right in the heart of Michigan.

The star of Fred’s menu is undoubtedly their Seafood Boil Bag—a treasure trove of succulent crab, shrimp, mussels, and corn, drenched in rich, buttery spices that ignite your taste buds with each bite. Equally irresistible is their Bucket of Seafood, an overflowing bounty that beckons communal sharing, perfect for creating memorable gatherings. For those craving variety, the Lobster Dinner promises tender, sweet lobster meat, while the Chicken Wings and intriguingly named Salmonella Chicken deliver a punch of spicy, crispy delight that contrasts beautifully with the ocean fare.

What sets Fred’s Crab Shack apart is not only the quality of the food but the warmth of the experience. Customers like Ondreya Fitzpatrick find themselves wishing for a “bigger book” of menu options, a testament to the addictive nature of their offerings. Gina Gardner’s shoutout to the “fire” seafood boil bags echoes the enthusiasm of loyal patrons who return time and again. And William Miller’s appreciation for the personable service—from the friendly greeting at the door to the quick 15-minute turnaround on freshly prepared dishes—speaks volumes about Fred’s commitment to hospitality.

A perfect meal at Fred’s is always rounded off by their decadent homemade desserts—try the Peach Cobbler or the fluffy 7up Cake for a sweet finish that lingers longer than you’d expect. Whether you’re diving into a communal feast or seeking a casual dinner spot where every morsel bursts with character, Fred’s Crab Shack delivers a culinary journey that leaves you completely satisfied, eagerly awaiting your next visit.
