The idea for a fresh seafood restaurant started around 2012 when Martin D opened up a small cafe in Southeast Arlington. During that time, his wife was pregnant and was always craving seafood so it was added to the menu at the cafe. After some time, a seafood lover and patron of this cafe had visions of developing a restaurant and approached Martin to partner up; thus came the birth of Crab Station, to share the fresh cajun experience with the world.
