Line Cook – Evenings | Seafood Kitchen
The Crab & Catfish Co. | 2539 W Main St, Norman, OK 73069
Starting Pay: $14/hour — Raises here are earned, not automatic. Dependable cooks who master their stations move up.
Full-Time & Part-Time Available
Looking for a kitchen where your work actually matters?
At The Crab & Catfish Co., we don't just hire cooks — we build dependable teams. Our Norman location is part of a growing Oklahoma restaurant group, and we're building something here — a kitchen with real standards and a team that takes pride in every plate. If you want to be part of that from the ground up, we'd love to meet you.
We serve guests until midnight, with closing shifts typically wrapping up around 1:00 AM after closing duties. If evening shifts fit your life better than early mornings, this schedule works.
What You'll Do
- Prepare and cook seafood and other menu items according to company recipes and standards.
- Work multiple stations while maintaining speed, quality, and consistency.
- Keep your station clean, stocked, and organized throughout your shift.
- Follow food safety and sanitation procedures.
- Complete opening, shift, and closing responsibilities.
- Communicate with your teammates to keep the kitchen running efficiently during busy service.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for people who are:
- Reliable and show up when they're scheduled.
- Coachable and open to feedback.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced kitchen.
- Team players who communicate well.
- Able to stay organized under pressure.
- Willing to follow recipes, systems, and daily checklists.
- Proud of producing quality food every plate, every shift.
Kitchen experience is required for this role. Our kitchen cooks everything to order — seafood boils and fried dishes made fresh per ticket — which moves differently than a standard line. If you've worked a real kitchen and know what it means to build a plate under pressure, you'll fit right in.
Our Culture
We believe consistency creates great guest experiences. That means following recipes, communicating with your team, maintaining a clean kitchen, and holding yourself accountable every shift.
We value people who take ownership, help their teammates, and come to work ready to contribute.
What This Job Asks of You
This is real kitchen work. You'll be on your feet for full shifts, lifting stock and equipment up to 50 lbs, and working around fryers, steam, and heat during busy service. If you've worked a kitchen before, you know the deal — we just want you walking in with eyes open.
Schedule
- Full-Time & Part-Time opportunities
- Evening and closing shifts
- Weekends and holidays required as business demands
Why Join Us?
- Consistent scheduled hours you can count on — dependable employees get dependable schedules.
- No early mornings.
- Hands-on training and the chance to learn every station — which is what earns your next raise.
- Performance-based advancement.
- Growth opportunities within a local restaurant group expanding across Oklahoma.
- A team that takes pride in what they do.
