A Cajun seafood restaurant is opening Wednesday in the old AJ Bombers location just off State Street.

Tony Chen and his uncle, Xi Cheng, spent four months remodeling the space at 201 W. Gorham St., and turning it into Mad Boiling Crab.

"It's Cajun style seafood with a little Asian twist," said manager Nikki Yuan.

The grand opening starts at 3 p.m. Wednesday, with each table getting one free appetizer, Yuan said. The offer runs through Sunday.

The restaurant gets fresh seafood daily from Milwaukee and Chicago, including live lobsters, Dungeness crab and blue crab. The menu also offers fried food like Cajun fries, cheese curds, fried chicken, shrimp, catfish, soft shell crab and calamari. There are also raw oysters.

Yuan said customers can customize their seafood from the restaurant's three flavor choices: Original Cajun, garlic butter and lemon pepper.

Mad Boiling Crab offers customers "gloves and bibs to protect themselves from getting their clothes dirty, and also just for a fun eating experience," she said.
