Crab Barrack to open Dec. 26, two more Quintard eateries announced - Anniston Star

-

Months after installing a big red crab on a building on Quintard Avenue in Anniston to tease its arrival, the Crab Barrack seafood restaurant is finally set to open late this month, its owners announced.

"December 26th is the official Grand Opening Day," the restaurant's management wrote in a Facebook post earlier this week on a page for one of the Crab Barrack's Birmingham locations. Earlier posts indicate a spate of hiring for the Anniston location, and a "friends and family" day set for Dec. 23, a soft opening for employees and their guests. 

Part-owner Tomille Phillips, a Saks resident, said by phone Thursday that she was glad to open the restaurant so close to home. 

"I really wanted something for Anniston, something for our residents to enjoy," Phillips said. "A lot of the new stuff is tending to pull toward Oxford." 

"Most people who are coming expect it to look like Ruby Tuesday, but I wanted it to look very different," Phillips said. 

The Crab Barrack, with its heraldic crustacean standing tall over Alabama 21, is the newest business to open at the former site of Ezell Park, the same city block where a Hollywood Video became an auto parts store and a Circuit City reconstituted into Dirt Cheap.

Two more restaurants have been announced to fill former Anniston eateries in the coming months. 

C & J's Crab Shack to Go will open in the former TCBY at 1903 Quintard Ave., beside Popeyes, according to a Facebook post from its owners. There are two C & J's Crab Shack and Bar locations in Etowah County that have been in business since 2018, according to the company's social media profile. 

Attempts to reach spokespeople for both restaurants were unsuccessful Wednesday.

koala animal :: Article Creator Grim Statistics On Koala Survival Odds Records of koala admissions to veterinary hospitals in South East Queensland show euthanasia was the most common outcome, according to University of Queensland research. The research was published in Society and Animals. Ph.D. Candidate Renae Charalambous and colleagues at UQ's Faculty of Science analyzed the records of more than 50,000 koala sightings and hospital admissions between 1997 and 2019. "Diseases like chlamydia make up almost 30 percent of vet hospital admissions, followed by a multitude of threats stemming from habitat loss, including dog attack and motor vehicle strike," Ms. Charalambous said. "Only 25 percent of koalas rescued and admitted to hospital went on to be released into suitable habitat. "Many of the animals died before arriving at a vet hospital and those that did make it were often euthanized on the grounds of welfare,...

Making the most of cooking crab starts with sourcing. Chef Jeremy Sewall advises buying live crabs that are in good shape. "Make sure the crabs are very lively," he says. The freshest crabs will still have spunk. There's plenty to know when buying crab, but one key rule is if they are barely moving, pass on them, and never buy dead raw crabs. When it comes to fresh crab, buying local is best. Crustaceans, like other sea creatures, have various species that live in different regions of the ocean. Sewall said he is "a big fan of sticking with local crab." Based in Boston, he loves to cook with fresh Jonah crab, which are from New England. Other regional specialties include Dungeness crab in California, king crab in Alaska, and blue crab in the Mid-Atlantic. If you don't live in a coastal area or want to try a species from a different region, there are plenty of online vendors that will ship you live crabs. Look for companies with quick product turnover a...
