Field’s Crab Shack: Where Seafood Meets Sass, Sunshine, and a Rooftop View That’ll Make Your Ex Jealous

 Listen, if you’re anywhere near Old Town Bay St. Louis and you aren’t eating at Field’s Crab Shack, I have questions. Mostly: Do you not like joy? Do you not enjoy seasoning? Do you hate rooftop bars and sunsets? Because this place is the trifecta of Gulf Coast happiness — boiled, fried, and steamed favorites served with a side of skyline and a sprinkle of “Oh honey, you need to try this.”

This isn’t your grandpa’s crab shack with wobbly picnic tables and a guy named Earl yelling about oysters (though…we do salute Earl). Field’s is modern, bright, and upscale without being snooty — the kind of place where you can show up in flip-flops or full glam and still feel like you belong.

The Food? Baby, It’s “Shut Up and Pass Me Another Crab Leg” Good.

Field’s did not come to play.
They came to steam it, fry it, boil it, grill it, and challenge every seafood place within a 50-mile radius.

• The seafood boils? Spicy enough to warn your taste buds but polite enough to let you keep your dignity.

• The fried plates? Crispier than your aunt’s opinions at Thanksgiving.

• The steamed shrimp? So fresh you’ll feel spiritually connected to the Gulf for a minute.

Now… let’s talk about the littleneck clams.

If you see them on the menu, don’t hesitate.
Don’t blink.
Don’t even look at your friend for approval.

Just order them.

These are the best littleneck clams on the Mississippi Gulf Coast — tender, briny, buttery, and seasoned like someone in the kitchen has emotional ties to Italy. They’re the kind of clams that make you close your eyes on the first bite and say, “Okay… Field’s understood the assignment.”

The Grilled Platter? To. Die. For.

If you’re a grill-lover, skip right past everything else and go straight to the platter.
It’s a masterpiece.
A love letter from the Gulf.
A plate so good it’ll make you consider writing it into your will.

Perfectly charred seafood, smoky, juicy, and kissed by the grill just enough to give you that flavor that says, “I’m fancy, but also I’m fun.” It’s the dish that makes your dining companions stare at your plate like they suddenly forgot what they ordered.

Let’s Talk About That Rooftop Bar…

Oh yes. They went there.
A rooftop bar overlooking the Bay — perfect for:

✨ Sunset cocktails
✨ Date nights
✨ Pretending you’re in a music video with the wind in your hair
✨ Judging the tourists below (with kindness… mostly)

Sit back, sip something cold, and take in one of the prettiest views in Old Town. It’s a whole experience — the kind that makes you forgive yourself for ordering dessert, because rooftop calories don’t count.

The Vibe: Local, Laid-Back, and Just a Little Boujee

Field’s perfected that Mississippi Gulf Coast blend of charm + polished atmosphere. It’s the seafood house for:

• Locals who know good food

• Visitors who think they discovered our town (bless their hearts)

• Girls’ night crews needing seafood and selfies

• Families craving delicious food without the chaos

Anyone trying to convince their friends to move here
(“LOOK at this view. LOOK at this grilled platter!”)

Final Thoughts

Field’s Crab Shack isn’t just a seafood spot — it’s a coastal mood.
The food has flavor, the drinks hit right, the littleneck clams are legendary, the grilled platter is dangerous (in a good way), and the rooftop views? Chef’s kiss.

Old Town Bay St. Louis has its magic — but Field’s added butter, garlic, and sunshine.
