Claws is the newest crab room on this stretch. Fins Hospitality Group soft-opened it at 210 Garfield Parkway on April 2, 2026. The Blue Crab held the space for 22 summers before that. District manager TJ Linton runs the launch with JR Hamer, son of Fins owner Jeff Hamer. The menu comes from the Rehoboth Avenue original, open since 2006. That means steamed blue crabs and all-you-can-eat crab specials. Hard shells and lobster back them up. The happy hour is loud, and Big Oyster beer pours from the group's own brewery. Posted hours run Wednesday through Sunday. Most nights close between 8:30 and 9. Bethany reviews are still too thin to mean anything. Judge it by the Rehoboth original's record.
