1/2 lb Snow Crab in Houston | Portions, Prices & Monday Special
July 09, 2026
By the Swamp Kingz Kitchen Team
Googling 1/2 lb crab in Houston? That search almost always means one thing: snow crab legs in a half-pound portion — and Swamp Kingz Cajun Kitchen & Bar serves exactly that at 2310 Highway 6 South, Houston, TX 77077. Choose 1/2 lb or 1 lb snow crab, pick your seasoning, and it arrives hot in a Cajun boil bag. Call (281) 558-5555 or order online.
The half-pound portion is the sleeper hit of our menu — enough crab to satisfy the craving, light enough to leave room for fried rice and a daiquiri, and the clusters come out steaming with seasoning worked into every crack of the shell.
What You Get in a Half Pound
A 1/2 lb order is a cluster of snow crab legs — sweet, delicate meat that cracks by hand, no tools required. It's the right portion for one person adding crab to a bigger order. Bringing your full appetite? Go for the 1 lb, or pair the half pound with a half-pound of boiled shrimp.
Pick Your Seasoning & Heat
Every snow crab order comes tossed in your choice: Cajun spicy, lemon pepper garlic butter, or garlic butter, with heat from mild to extra hot. The boil-bag method means seasoning reaches the meat inside the shell, not just the surface.
The Monday Snow Crab Special
Crab on a budget? Our Monday snow crab special is the best crab value of the week — a Monday-evening tradition for regulars. Doors open 4 PM Monday through Thursday.
