Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn, NY, The Crabby Shack has been serving fresh, flavorful seafood since 2014. Founded by Gwen Woods and Fifi Bell-Clanton, it’s more than a restaurant—it’s a celebration of community, culture, and a shared love of great food. Known for its laid-back vibe and bold flavors, The Crabby Shack has become both a neighborhood favorite and a destination for seafood lovers across the city. Gwen and Fifi’s journey began with a simple idea: to bring the comfort and joy of coastal dining to Brooklyn. Their creative approach to seasoning and preparation quickly earned a loyal following, inspiring them to experiment beyond the menu. One of those experiments became a runaway hit—a hot sauce made with their signature seasoning blend that customers couldn’t get enough of. What started as a small in-house creation soon grew into Gigi’s Hotties, a line of premium hot sauces celebrated for their bold, vibrant taste and all-natural ingredients, free from fillers and thickeners.
