About Mini’s Crab & Shrimp takeout
Mini’s Crab & Shrimp Takeout, located at 1740 4th St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, USA, is a local establishment specializing in steamed-to-order seafood. They can be contacted at (727) 898-7407 or +1 727-898-7407.
This takeout spot is known for its fresh seafood, particularly blue crabs and shrimp, prepared with Cajun or garlic seasonings. Popular items include the garlic shrimp and corn, as well as the crabs.
Mini’s offers two styles of crab preparation: Cajun steamed whole crabs and garlic sauce crabs, which are steamed, shell removed, cracked in half, and then tossed in a wok with garlic sauce.
While generally well-received, one customer found the fresh sliced conch in garlic broth to be overly salty, suggesting it might have been an isolated issue. However, another local customer who has been coming for years vouches for its consistent quality.
Mini’s Crab & Shrimp Takeout appears to be a reasonably priced establishment favored by locals, as it has been in business for over 25 years. It is a family-owned business, currently run by the owner whose late husband's picture is displayed on the wall, and she is described as very nice.
Considered a "hidden gem" by some, it is recommended to call ahead to place your order to avoid waiting, as it can get busy. For those who do have to wait, Mastry’s Seafood is conveniently located next door, offering a variety of fresh and frozen seafood.
In summary, Mini’s Crab & Shrimp Takeout is a long-established, family-run local favorite in St. Petersburg, known for its steamed blue crabs and shrimp with Cajun or garlic sauce. Calling ahead is advised for the best experience.

Customer Reviews
Steamed-to-order Cajun/garlic blue crabs, shrimp, conch, corn & sides! The garlic shrimp & corn are a must & of course the crabs. There are 2 styles: - Cajun steamed whole crabs - Garlic sauce crabs: steamed, shell removed, cracked in half, thrown into a wok with garlic sauce! The fresh sliced conch came in a garlic broth that was way too salty. Maybe it was an off day or the broth was too reduced? So we asked a lady coming out with a cardboard tray full of takeout “How is it?” “It’s good! I’ve been coming for years!” It must be reasonably priced since it appears to be a place where the locals go. It’s been there for 25+ years. The owner is so nice. She ran it with her husband who passed away (his picture is on the wall.) A hidden gem! I hope this place becomes so well known that they sell out everyday! Support this family business. It’s best to call ahead so you don’t have to wait! We killed some time shopping at Mastry’s Seafood next door. At Mastry’s Seafood, pop open all the coolers & you’ll see a variety of fish! I even got frozen octopus & frog legs. The owners are so friendly & the family owned business has been there for years.
Best seafood in town! Must visit! Better than the rest!
Been coming here since I was a little kid and her hubby was still here now I eat it with my kids I went today and mini I still love your food it’s always a pleasure love you so much see you soon 💕
Note: Cash only! This place is a hidden gem. We live relatively nearby and never knew it existed. We tried it today and will definitely be back. It's take-out only. You place your order at a small window, and then come back to pick it up. There were a few people in line in front of us, it took about 10 minutes to get our food. It was still hot when we got back home to eat it. Other comments mention rudeness. We didn't experience any rudeness, or have any negativity. My guess is that there may be some language misunderstandings happening. Unexpectedly great place, will be back.
Great Cajun food! Shrimp is a must have
