Four Bay Area McDonald’s restaurants will begin selling crab sandwiches on Thursday. The fast-food franchise chain added the sandwich to its menu at four South Bay locations. The sandwich is made with snow crab meat on a sliced sourdough bun with seasoned mayonnaise, celery, lettuce and tomato.

McDonald’s says the new addition is part of a trend to experiment with regional flavors and local tastes. “Top Chef” contestant Ryan Scott worked with McDonald’s to develop their version of a crab sandwich.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, the new menu item will be available starting Thursday at 11 a.m. at four McDonald’s in the South Bay. Three are in San Jose (2191 Monterey Road; 2699 Union Ave.; 4838 San Felipe Road) and one is in Santa Clara (3509 Homestead Road).

Pending positive feedback, the crab sandwich will be available at nearly 250 McDonald’s restaurants across the Bay Area later this year.



According to McDonald’s website, the crab sandwich has 410 calories, 24 grams of fat and 14 grams of protein.

Crab sandwiches are not very common at fast food locations, but McDonald’s is willing to take a risk. And rather than try serving these new crab sandwiches in crab-loving locations like New England or Maryland, it is hoping to catch on out on the west coast. This is part of the fast food giant’s regional favorites campaign, and other regionally-influenced items may soon come to your neck of the woods ,if they have not already

I'm usually down to try anything fast food at least once, but as someone who spent years in Maryland and loves crab, I don't think I can do it this time

You can already get crabs at the San Francisco McDonald's in the bathrooms.

 

[brandonh83]

You can do that right now.

 

[ReAxion]

the regional favorite in Socal seems to be two spicy McChickens. would trade.

 

[brandonh83]

You can do that right now.

If it's not breakfast items it's crap. And even those are kinda crap.

 

[zeemumu]

Not after the McLobster

 

[MindofKB]

I live within 5-7 miles of those three McDonalds locations.

Still not compromising my bowels on that sandwich.

Nope!

 

[HawksWinStanley]

I like the logo.

 

[Tom Nook]

The McCRAB?

Sure, why not? I'm in.

[Serrato]

Looks like a bad version of the McLobster that we often get here in Quebec Province,

 

[mf.luder]

Not imitation?

[baxter2231]

Getting crabs at McDonalds sounds like a bad story you tell ur friends about.

 

[Poppy]

nnnnnnaaaaahhhhhh maaaannnnnn

 

[Schucky Ducky]

Hope it comes with some crab juice to wash it down.

 

[Gattsu25]

Yay for cross contamination.

Any contamination will cause a flare up in me. Fatal for my aunt.

Shellfish allergies are serious business.

 

[ahoyhoy]

They used to have those on the eastern shore in MD when I was a kid. Never tried one for obvious reasons.

 

[Walter White Walker]

It's McDonalds - that's gotta be imitation crab.

 

[The Big N]

Ewww!...

Although I sorta want this to happen just so Micky D's can advertise the McCrab.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'd have to mcpass on this.

 

[crazyprac]

You can already get crabs at the San Francisco McDonald's in the bathrooms.

Hahahahah so close!

 

[Ban Puncher]

"They want HOW MUCH for pork?! That's it, no McRib this year. So, what else have they got that's cheap per poorly refrigerated shipping container?"

 

[Extra Sauce]

Looks like a bad version of the McLobster that we often get here in Quebec Province,

I liked the McLobster but it was too salty.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I want those mcshrimps patties they have in Japan

 

[jph139]

I literally gagged a bit.

There's a lot of things I'll trust to fast food, but shellfish is not one of them.

(dead.. )

 

[Linkura]

That looks disgusting.

I don't know why places have to drown fucking everything in salt. I really don't get it. Yeah salt is good, but it has to be right. There's so much fast food I avoid largely because of how damned salty it is.

...call me salty, I guess.

 

[Leynos]

Crab, or krab?

 

[Clipse]

I'd eat it.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

You gonna be paying for crab flavored breadcrumbs.

 

[Kenclops]

All you can eat dungeness crab. My house.

 

[Toki767]

Using a burger bun for that makes it look pretty bad.

 

[gamz]

I'll try it!

 

[shira]

Soft shell crab burgers so gud.

Mc Crab prolly not

 

[Tacorona72]

I'll give it a shot.

 

[Into the Light]

[ThatStupidLion]

when the picture of the food is already awful, you know theres no hope for the actual product

 

[SpecX]

This sounds awful.

 

[Amalthea]

Just like the secret sauce.

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

Nah fam.

 

[GoutPatrol]

I would eat that. I don't recall alot of McD's burgers having tomato too.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Fuck yeah I'll try that
