Best Crabs in Penang
When it comes to hunting down the best crabs in Penang, both the island and the mainland (Seberang Perai) offer spectacular seafood experiences. From wok-fried chilli crabs in Teluk Kumbar to rich butter crabs in Bukit Tambun, Penang’s seafood scene is renowned for its bold flavours and fresh catch.
Some of the top crab spots can be found along Gurney Drive, Batu Lanchang, and even deeper into Balik Pulau and Raja Uda, where locals queue for claypot crab porridge and salted egg crab. Whether you’re craving Kam Heong, sweet & sour, or garlic-baked styles, this is a list for true crab lovers looking for the best crab restaurants in Penang.
