SUMMER SATISFACTION

There is a certain raffish charm about Clemente’s Crab House, a perfect Sheepshead Bay summer retreat with a tented outdoor deck facing the Venice Marina, and tranquil water views.
The house special is “all-you-can-eat” plump, juicy hard shell crabs
served spicy or garlicky at $25 pp, although the menu list such fare as
clams and oysters tasting as if plucked right out of the bay, crunchy fried
shrimp with spicy tartar sauce, crusty buffalo wings, succulent soft-shell
crtab or lobster sandwiches, daily fish specials, and more. The bar is also
curiously compelling.
Clemente’s Crab House, 3939 Emmons Av. (in the Venice Marina), Brooklyn, NY. (718-646-7373. L-D daily. D-ent. $14.95-$24.95. Acc. maj. cc.
