About Kickin'Inn Zetland

Skip the cutlery—Kickin'Inn serves up tactile Cajun-style seafood boils delivered straight to your table in steaming bags. Diners don bibs and plastic gloves to tear into mud crabs, mussels, and baby octopus tossed in rich garlic butter, kajun, or signature sha-bang sauce. Heat tolerances are fully catered for, from a mellow mild kick to inferno. A crusty baguette on the side is essential for soaking up every drop of butter and spice.

  • Bag-to-Table Seafood Boils: Steaming catches arrive directly in bags to eat by hand with provided bibs and plastic gloves.
  • Custom Sauces & Spice Levels: Build your boil with tailored shellfish, heat tiers up to inferno, and sauces like garlic butter or kajun.
  • Birthday Shrimp Martini: Birthday diners are treated to a complimentary savoury shrimp martini.

    Seafood bags can be customized to individual palates by choosing shellfish combinations, proprietary sauces, and personalized spice levels.

  • Guided ordering and flavour selection

    First-time diners and spice-conscious guests are guided through the menu choices and sauce pairings by attentive table staff.

    As a first time seafood taster we had no idea what to pick and which sauce goes good with. Waitresses recommendation was great choice, she explained everything clearly.

  • Mixed Bag

    we picked the kickin’ mixed large bag with sha-bang sauce (combo of all the sauces) and “inferno” heat level. It had a really good chilli kick, definitely not too spicy. The seafood was cooked perfectly. Delicious.

Before you head over

Practical advice on dining preparation, timing, and celebration perks at Kickin'Inn Zetland

  • Dress for Messy Hands-On Dining

    The dining format is tactile and saucy, so dress in casual clothes you do not mind getting sauce on, and consider bringing a hair tie if you have long hair. Bibs and plastic gloves are provided at your table.

  • Arrive Earlier for High-Demand Catches

    Popular catches like whole crabs can sell out by late Sunday evening. If your group is aiming for specific items, visit earlier in the week or during lunch hours.

  • Mention Birthdays for the Shrimp Martini

    If you are visiting for a birthday celebration, mention the occasion to the staff to receive their complimentary shrimp martini treat.
