Handpicked Dressed Crab offers the finest balance of sweet white claw and leg meat with rich brown meat, prepared and ready to enjoy. Landed fresh at Brixham and cooked in-house, each crab is carefully hand-picked and dressed by our skilled fishmongers. Delivered in perfect condition and never previously frozen.

Why it’s special: Our crabs arrive live to ensure the highest possible freshness. After being cooked and cooled, the meat is hand-picked to maintain texture and flavour. Each dressed crab contains a 50% white and 50% brown meat ratio and is beautifully presented in the shell. Prepared to order for exceptional freshness and presentation.

Quality & versatility: With its naturally sweet and distinctive flavour, dressed crab is a true British delicacy. It can be enjoyed straight from the shell or used to create a variety of dishes, from crab sandwiches and salads to luxurious pasta and risotto recipes.

Serving inspiration: Serve simply with brown bread and lemon for a classic pairing, or use the white and brown meat to make a creamy crab linguine for a more indulgent dish.
