The Barking Crab has submitted a proposal to expand the waterfront restaurant with a new floating deck.
The Fort Point eatery at 88 Sleeper St. has requested to build a 1,900-sqft steel barge next to the connected docks to help increase the dining capacity.
The seafood spot currently seats thousands of customers in the ~9,500-sqft space at the outdoor dining area. The Barking Crab has been serving up lobster rolls, steamers, and other seafood specialties since 1994 .
What would this expansion look like? According to the proposal, the floating deck would be topped with a metal-framed canopy support system and include self-contained restroom facilities.
The proposal will require a waterways license from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, and the project will be reviewed by the Boston Conservation Commission.
Call us shellfish, but we hope to crack open a lobster or two on the water this summer.
