Spicy Dry-fried Lobster Chinatown

[dhandley]

My husband and I will be spending the weekend in Boston. In previous visits, we would go to our favorite Chinatown restaurant, Grand Chau Chow, and order the spicy dry-fried lobster. Since Grand Chau Chow is no more, does anyone know of other Chinatown restaurants that serve this dish?

Hi

You should try East Ocean City on Tyler St. This place has excellent live seafood in tanks. Rather than the lobster though I would suggest you try one of their spicy dry fried King Crabs. They flash fry a chopped up live crab and then toass it with spicy salt and pepper. Very delicious.

Wholeheartedly agree with this recommendation from a taste and deliciousness factor, but I think that recommendation should come with the caveat that King Crabs are about 5x more expensive than lobster.

did one of those Big king crabs, it was $200.

Ah ha...so correction - maybe 10x more expensive than lobster.

I prefer dungeness crabs myself when done S&P style, and my 2 crabs on my birthday earlier this month came out to $75. So freakin' good though..
