October is National Seafood Month, a time to celebrate the rich diversity and delicious flavors of seafood while supporting the entrepreneurs who bring these meals to our tables. This year, we highlight Crabby Bags, a standout Black-owned business founded by Lafayette and Keish Warren. Their story is a testament to resilience, innovation, and the strength of community.
Crabby Bags was born in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a period that brought unprecedented challenges for families worldwide. Like many, the Warrens found themselves juggling the demands of remote work and virtual schooling while managing their busy household. As seafood lovers, they saw an opportunity to create a quick, delicious meal solution that fit into their hectic lifestyle, leading to the creation of their signature seafood boil in a bag.
Inspired by a successful office lunch experiment using a steam bag meal, the couple decided to transform this concept into a ready-to-cook seafood boil that anyone could easily enjoy at home. What began as a small-scale family cooking project quickly gained momentum as friends and relatives praised their unique twist on a beloved dish.
Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Lafayette and Keish partnered with suppliers to scale their creation into a full-fledged product. Their playful, eye-catching packaging caught attention, and Crabby Bags started to gain a loyal following. However, it wasn’t until a friend’s daughter shared Crabby Bags on TikTok that their business skyrocketed. The viral post introduced Crabby Bags to a wider audience, catapulting them into the spotlight as a popular meal solution for seafood lovers across the country.
Today, Crabby Bags boasts over 160,000 TikTok followers and 50,000 Instagram fans, all garnered through organic growth. Their product continues to resonate with families looking for quick, flavorful seafood options that bring people together.
Crabby Bags is more than just a meal; it represents family, tradition, and the simple joy of shared meals. Each bag is crafted with high-quality ingredients, ensuring that customers experience a satisfying, stress-free seafood boil right from their kitchens. This National Seafood Month, we not only celebrate Crabby Bags’ delicious offerings but also honor the determination and passion of Lafayette and Keish Warren.
Their journey reminds us that even in the face of adversity, creativity and community can turn challenges into incredible opportunities. So, as you enjoy the flavors of the sea this October, remember to support Crabby Bags and the inspiring couple behind this innovative business.
