Kraby Crab in Tampa

Last inspected:

2030 E Fletcher Ave, Tampa, FL 33612
Overview

Kraby Crab, a 12-seat food service establishment in Tampa, has compiled a record of chronic and escalating violations across seven inspections between December 2023 and October 2025, averaging 13.6 violations per inspection—more than 2.6 times the statewide average of 5.2. Employee health policy violations appeared in six of seven inspections, handwashing and food contact surface violations recurred in five inspections, and chemical storage violations were cited in four inspections. High-priority violations dominated recent inspections: the October 30, 2025 inspection documented 11 high-priority findings including employee health policy, parasite destruction, food contact surfaces, and chemical storage, resulting in completion with no further action; the May 15, 2025 inspection cited 11 high-priority violations; and the April 29, 2025 inspection resulted in a callback for compliance. An April 18, 2024 inspection prompted an administrative complaint recommendation, escalating enforcement beyond routine inspection. Fire safety violations included a back door blocked with garbage (May 15, 2025) and a missing child labor law poster (October 30, 2025). The facility has not experienced an emergency closure, though the volume and persistence of violations across multiple inspection cycles—particularly recurring food safety violations tied to employee practices and chemical management—indicates systemic compliance challenges. The most recent inspection on October 30, 2025 was completed with no further action.
