History

Established in 1961.

The Crab Shop has been a fixture on the North Shore since the 1960′s. It originated on the mudflats at 2817 Dollarton Highway. It was purchased in 1961 by Martin Dobay under the name of North Vancouver Fish Supply. In 1982 the name was changed to «The Crab Shack». In 1988 the shop relocated north of the highway at 2464 Dollarton Highway. In 1993, the current owner Marcel Gregori took over from Dobay and remained at the same location until 2007 when the store moved within walking distance of its current location to #121−2455 Dollarton Highway in the newly constructed Dollarton Landing Plaza.

Meet the Business Owner

Marcel G.

Business Owner

Marcel had previously worked as a manager of a local fish plant. When he took over the business in 1993, the boat «Barkley Surge» was included in the purchase. Three engines later and a slow overhaul of the boat, the «Surge» is still an integral part of Marcel’s continued success. In order to do his part for the environment, Marcel’s boat and transport vehicles are fuelled by recycled canola oil utilized from the kitchen at The Crab Shop. Marcel fishes daily during the crab season allowing him to bring in the freshest catch in town to your plate!
