Holy Crab: A feast for the senses ‒ bringing Cajun seafood to Helsinki

Holy Crab is a dining concept that celebrates the bold and vibrant flavours of Cajun seafood boils. As Finland’s first restaurant to embrace this distinctive culinary tradition, Holy Crab offers a memorable experience that combines fresh seafood, hearty spices, and a lively atmosphere.

For those craving an interactive and flavour-packed dining adventure, Holy Crab does not disappoint. Its bold Cajun-inspired dishes, generous portions, and communal style make it a standout addition to Helsinki’s thriving culinary scene. Whether you’re a seasoned seafood lover or a curious newcomer, Holy Crab promises a meal that’s as fun as it is delicious.

The star of the show on Holy Crab’s menu is the Cajun seafood boil – a medley of crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, corn and sausages, all simmered together in a pot with robust seasonings. Served directly onto the table, the meal invites diners to dig in, roll up their sleeves, and share a hands-on feast. “The idea is to create a communal experience where food becomes a centrepiece for connection,” says Menkki Kam, Holy Crab’s founder.

Feedback on this unique dining concept, a first for Finland, has been overwhelmingly positive. “It’s not just about eating; it’s a multi-sensory experience,” says Kam. “While the experience is central, we never compromise on the quality of ingredients or the boldness of flavours.”

Customisation is key at Holy Crab, allowing diners to tailor their experience. Guests can choose their spice level and preferred sauces, from decadent garlic butter to the iconic mukbang sauce – a buttery, tangy, Korean-inspired creation – or opt for the fiery kick of a classic Cajun blend.

At Holy Crab, guests can enjoy fresh seafood, hearty spices, and a lively atmosphere.

Cocktails and atmosphere – the perfect pairing

Complementing the robust Cajun flavours is Holy Crab’s thoughtfully curated cocktail menu. From zesty citrus-infused drinks to smoky bourbon-based creations, each cocktail is designed to perfectly balance and enhance the spice and richness of the seafood dishes.

The restaurant’s atmosphere reflects its playful and engaging approach to dining, and Holy Crab has brought something fresh and dynamic to Helsinki. With a communal vibe and a friendly, attentive staff, Holy Crab ensures every guest feels at home. Staff members even provide tips on cracking shells and making the most of every bite, turning the meal into an unforgettable experience. “It’s not just about the meal, it’s also about creating joy and memories,” Kam concludes.
