The Rim Seafood (CLOSED)

If you want the low-country experience without the mess, head to this chill spot next to the Angry Crab. It differs in style—the boil comes in a bowl instead of a bag—but the process is the same. There’s a large selection of bivalves, so we went for a Manila clam boil, tender and spicy with a piquant Cajun sauce. To bulk things up, order basmati rice and spoon any leftover sauce on top to get every bit of that briny, Cajuny goodness.
