“Although it is open all year, this Fort Point Channel restaurant is best in summer, when diners can sit outdoors at picnic tables and wield heavy stones to crush lobster and crab shells.”

""Casual" and "crowded", this Seaport District fixture "caters to tourists" with "fresh" "shack seafood" that's "decent" if you "keep it simple"." Full review

"Set right on Boston Harbor, this red-shingled seafood shack and open-air tent is party central all summer long for local desk jockeys." Full review

Rough Guide

"This endearing, touristy seafood shack aims to please with its homey atmos- phere (it looks like a circus tent), friendly service, and unpretentious menu."

Frommer's

"The Barking Crab is a clam shack overlooking the water. That wouldn't be a big deal on the Maine coast or the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, but in downtown Boston, it's beyond cool." Full review
