Walking into Stinkin Crawfish - Gardena, I wasn’t just looking for seafood—I was chasing flavor. And let me tell you, their menu delivers from the very first bite.
I started light with the starters, and the Fried Calamari hit that perfect crispy-chewy balance. The Jalapeño Poppers brought the heat, cooled beautifully by creamy cheese, and the Butterfly Shrimp? Juicy, golden, and addictive. But the sleeper hit? Those buttery, garlicky Garlic Noodles—I’d order them again just by themselves.
Then came the Signature Meals—hearty, satisfying, and plated with Southern soul. The Catfish Meal was golden-fried and flaky, while the Chicken Tenders were tender and generously seasoned. But the standout for me was the Gumbo Meal—a soulful, savory stew packed with spice and seafood richness.
Now, if you’re all about that seafood boil life, the Catch section is where the magic happens. I tried the 1 lb. Snow Crab Clusters—sweet, buttery, and fall-off-the-shell perfect. The Crawfish brought Cajun vibes, and those Green Mussels? Plump and soaked in flavorful juices. Go all out with a Lobstertail for the ultimate feast.
Their Combos like the Triple Threat and Crabby Lobsters are made for sharing—or not, no judgment. I nearly tackled a Shrimp Lovers combo solo. No regrets.
Even the Lunch Specials pack a punch—lighter versions of their main meals, but with all the flavor. Don’t miss the Shrimp Lunch Special if you’re short on time but still craving bold taste.
And for little foodies? The Kids Menu offers crowd-pleasers like Nuggets & Fries and Mac & Fries.
Wash it all down with a cold Raspberry Iced Tea or a Bottled Coke, and you've got a meal worth raving about.
