Water Grill Bellevue Welcomes Crab Week!
Crab week is August 15 - 23!
We're participating in the Bellevue Crab Week! Come down to Lincoln Square and dine with us at to enjoy some of the best the ocean has to offer, including a locally-sourced specialty in Wild Washington Dungeness Crab, or an East Coast favorite like Wild Maryland Soft Shell Crab.
Crab Week marks the perfect occasion to try a new addition to our menu: Soft Shell Crab Curry. Wild Maryland soft shell crab meets the bold flavors of Thailand in a dish that celebrates the crab's sweet, briny and slightly nutty notes.
LEARN MORE ABOUT WILD WASHINGTON DUNGENESS CRAB
When they're in season, Dungeness Crabs are a fixture in our live saltwater tanks. Known for their mildly sweet and firm but delicate texture, these crabs have been commercially harvested since 1848. Although they're named from where they can be found in the Pacific Northwest, these crabs are fished by crab pot all over the west coast of North America--from Alaska's Aleutian Islands down to Santa Barbara, California.

LEARN MORE ABOUT WILD MARYLAND SOFT SHELL CRAB
As waters in the Chesapeake Bay begin to warm in spring, blue crabs are carefully monitored and plucked out of the water at peak tenderness, just as they molt and their shells have yet to harden. Soft Shell crab is an East Coast delicacy known for its seasonality and unique flavor--sweet and earthy with olive-like notes imparted from the shell.
It’s Primetime for California Spiny Lobster in Las Vegas
Even in a landlocked city in the desert, hundreds of miles from any ocean, Water Grill Las Vegas offers high quality and value, bringing in the season’s first catch, multiple times each week.
In a recent appearance on the Las Vegas CBS affiliate, KLAS, Executive Chef Jeffrey Moreto shared Wild California Spiny Lobster at the start of the season, including education and preparation tips on this unique and original California seafood experience.
“We like to feature our first-of-season program where we highlight what season has [recently] opened and what's readily available. California Spiny Lobster season [is here] and we’re one of the few restaurants on the strip that offer this product.”
California Spiny Lobster season opened up in early October and will typically run through March. This seasonal West Coast specialty can be prepared several ways. Chef Moreto explains how there’s no need to over-do it.
“We do a simple preparation and let the seafood speak for itself. So, we keep it very simple.”
