Product Description
Sweet, fresh and ready to eat, dressed crab is one of the great pleasures of the British coast. Each crab is filled with a generous mix of delicate white meat and rich brown meat, carefully returned to the shell after preparation. The result is a seafood delicacy with remarkable depth of flavour and a freshness that keeps customers coming back time and time again.
Every dressed crab is cooked and handpicked by our fishmongers in Devon. It is a skilled and time-consuming process, with each crab carefully picked by hand to ensure only the finest meat makes it back into the shell. It's one of the reasons dressed crab remains one of our most highly rated products, earning hundreds of positive comments from customers who appreciate both the quality and flavour.
Enjoy it simply with crusty bread and a squeeze of lemon, or use the white and brown meats separately. The white meat is perfect for salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes, while the brown meat adds richness to sauces, dressings and seafood butters.
Our dressed crab is pot caught on the South West coast and sourced through Brixham Fish Market. It is prepared to order by our fishmongers, with nothing sitting in stock, and sent out fresh on your chosen delivery day. Always fresh and never previously frozen, so you can freeze it at home if needed.
Try it in our Crab Linguine with a Zesty Twist.
