All About Crabby Bags

Crabby Bags was founded by the married couple, Lafayette and Keish Warren.

Founded during the challenging times of the pandemic, their company was born out of a desire to create delicious and convenient meal options for families navigating the new normal of working from home. As parents juggling remote work and virtual schooling, they realized the need for quick and satisfying lunch solutions, especially for their seafood-loving household.

The idea for their signature seafood boil in a bag emerged from a fond memory of a successful office lunch experiment with a steam bag meal. Word of mouth, combined with a fortuitous TikTok post by a friend’s daughter, catapulted their product to viral fame within hours, propelling them into the spotlight as a go-to provider of innovative and delectable meal solutions. They currently have over 160k followers on TikTok and over 50k on Instagram organically.

How do you define success?

Keish Warren: Success, to me, is the ability to make a living doing what you love while also maintaining a comfortable lifestyle.

What is your best-selling product?

Keish Warren: Our Cajun Snow Crab boil is definitely our top seller, as it captivates many new customers who may not have heard of us before. Following closely behind is our Original Snow Crab boil. Once customers become familiar with our brand, our Low Country boils become increasingly popular, and our crawfish, especially in areas where customers are familiar with them, sell very well.

How has the food industry changed since you started?

Keish Warren: While we remain the sole seafood boil in a bag company in our industry, there has been a rise in similar seafood-boil-related products entering the market. Since our inception, seafood boils have transformed from a southern delicacy to a culinary delight enjoyed across all regions of the USA.

What inspired you to start a food business, and why did you choose to focus on seafood?

Keish Warren: Crabby Bags was founded by two busy parents and their fifth graders, all working from home at the onset of the pandemic. We launched Crabby Bags as a convenient and efficient way to prepare seafood for our seafood-loving son.

What sets your seafood products apart from others in the market?

Keish Warren: We prioritize quality and taste over quantity. Our seafood boils are freshly prepared weekly to ensure that quality remains our top priority. Packed with the protein of your choice, jumbo shrimp, baby potatoes, sweet corn, and beef sausages, all marinated in our delectable buttery garlic sauces, our seafood boils offer a unique and flavorful experience for our customers.
