The shellfish tower at Chops Lobster Bar is a chilled platter layered with large shrimp, raw oysters, split lobster, and a central mound of blue crab meat over ice, accompanied by classic sauces and citrus. Compared with more minimal towers, this version stands out for including substantial lobster portions and a generous amount of crab, making it feel closer to a full seafood feast than a light appetizer. The experience is about digging into different textures and flavors, from the snap of the shrimp to the briny oysters and the tender sweetness of the lobster and crab, all arranged in an impressive presentation. Reviews describe this tower as one of the signature ways to start a meal here, especially for guests looking to sample a broad range of the restaurant’s raw and chilled seafood.
