#1
Crab Arepa
Los FélixCoconut Grove·$$$
$36.00
Corn-masa arepa filled with crab, avocado, and radish salad.
Tip: When ordering for a group, avoid getting multiple corn-based dishes in one sitting — the richness of the masa can overwhelm your palate. Mix with lighter vegetable or fish plates.
#2
Avocado Louie
The Surf Club RestaurantSurfside·$$$$
$22.00
Ripe avocado with Dungeness crab, iceberg lettuce, egg, and Louie sauce on crispy toast points.
Tip: Start with the Avocado Louie if you want something light and elegant before your main course.
#3
Crispy Shrimp & Crab Har Gow
Komodo MiamiBrickell·$$$
$16.00
Delicate shrimp and crab dumplings with a crispy exterior and silky filling.
Tip: These dumplings are best eaten immediately — order them when you're ready to start eating, not as a first order.

Crispy crab roll showered in warm clarified butter, an Instagram-famous introduction to Pubbelly's ethos.

Double Luck ChineseNorth Miami·$$
$16.00
Crispy wontons with crab leg meat, sweet and sour sauce, and an aggressive dunk factor.
Tip: Order this as your first course and be prepared for them to be hot — don't bite into them immediately or you will burn your mouth.

Griddled Corn Cake with Crab
Los FélixCoconut Grove·$$$
$36.00
Creamy corn cake with lump crab meat, smoked corn sauce, and charred plantains.
Tip: Order two per person on this — it's a small plate but it's rich and layered with flavor. One won't satisfy you once you taste it.
