Sea you later. NJ's last Joe's Crab Shack to close

It's a sad time for Deptford sea food lovers.

Joe's Crab Shack, the nautical-themed restaurant chain with funky signs and lots of sea life, will be pulling up its anchor and leaving New Jersey.

The chain's last location, 2000 Clements Bridge Rd in Deptford, is schedules to close on May 26 according to several published reports.

The restaurant's Chief Operating Officer Terry Turney told the Daily Voice and NJ.com that the closure was due to a "natural lease expiration."

The restaurant chain is owned by the Landry's corporation, which also owns the Golden Nugget Casino in Atlantic City.
