Handpicked White Crabmeat is the sweetest and most delicate part of the crab, prized for its light flavour and tender texture. Landed fresh at Brixham and dressed by hand, it is delivered in perfect condition and never previously frozen.

Why it’s special: Each crab is carefully selected for its quality and flavour, before the white meat is meticulously handpicked to preserve its delicate texture. Prepared to order by our skilled fishmongers, this ensures exceptional freshness with every pack.

Quality & versatility: White crabmeat is naturally sweet, low in fat, and rich in protein, making it both healthy and delicious. Its light flavour makes it ideal for a wide variety of dishes, from seafood salads and crab sandwiches to refined starters and canapés.

Serving inspiration: Combine with lemon and mayonnaise for a classic crab sandwich, or fold gently into a fresh linguine with garlic and parsley for a simple yet luxurious meal.

Where is your crab sourced from?

We use only British crab, sourced from local day boats landed in Brixham. All crab is freshly cooked and picked by hand for quality and consistency.

What’s included in a dressed crab?

Each dressed crab includes a generous mix of white and brown meat, carefully cleaned and presented in the shell. Perfect for serving straight away or adding to recipes.

How long will it stay fresh?

Fresh crab is best enjoyed as soon as possible. We recommend eating it within 3 days of delivery for the finest flavour and texture. Alternatively, you can freeze it on the day of delivery to enjoy at a later date.

Marion
Handpicked Dressed Crab

Have tried many on line fishmongers but my god, hands down this one is the absolute best. The skate wings we ordered were so fresh and delicious. We went for the 500g and they were huge! Nevertheless we ate one each with a few chips and capers. Will definitely become a regular customer and I cannot recommend enough. Thank you!

Fabulous! Prompt delivery, well packaged, delicious sardines - highly recommend :)

Susan
Wild Sardines

I have been trying to get seafood, in particular crab, delivered fresh for a very long time. All suppliers deliver pre-frozen products sold legally as fresh. Having spent a lot of my childhood on the south coast I know the vast difference in flavour between the two. When the delivery arrived I was absolutely delighted with the dressed crab and crab meat pots. The entire order was top quality (plaice, sardines, bass). I cannot recommend Hamiltons enough and will be using them on a regular basis from now.

My husband just walked in while doing this and told him what I was doing and his words were EXCELLENT, I also think that was for the fish..

The salmon was wonderful, poached in a court bouillon and decorated perfect for my son’s 60 th. Also the smoked haddock and Huss I bought were excellent quality. When I run out of fish I’ll be back.,

This is how seafood should taste. If you're still getting your fish from the supermarket you're missing something special.
