A Different Kind of NYC Seafood

Manhattan does seafood at the highest level — but the soul food seafood angle has been concentrated uptown. Lobster & Waffles, Cajun Crab Cakes, Blackened Salmon, Southern Fried Catfish — the K+K seafood program is a fresh format for Times Square, anchored by signature dishes that built our reputation across seven cities.

The Seafood Menu

Lobster & Waffles served warm with house syrup. Cajun Crab Cakes with rémoulade. Blackened Salmon over dirty rice. Southern Fried Catfish with red beans. Surf + Turf for the special occasion.
