Watch how we crack a crab

Whole Crab, cleaned and cooked after being landed by our boats the Nichola of Ladram and the Becci of Ladram. Cracking a whole crab may be something of a labour of love, but the delicious brown and white meat is a reward well worth waiting for! Watch how we crack a crab.

We’re blessed with an abundance of Edible Crab (Cancer pagurus, also known as Brown Crab) in the waters off the Devon and Cornwall coast, making it a good, sustainable choice. This ready-cooked crab provides delicious meat which is ready to use, in  salads, sandwiches, crabcakes, soups and more.

Our fishing vessels work out of Exmouth, Brixham and Newlyn, and operate in accordance with the Seafood Responsible Fishing Scheme. They keep us well topped up most days with a selection of fresh fish and shellfish, and a catch can often be on its way to the Greendale farm shop within hours of leaving the sea. If we can’t catch it ourselves, we source only from trusted suppliers with standards as high as our own. The fish available may vary, depending on the season, but a delicious variety is always to be found on our fish counter. From whole fish to fillets, live lobsters to shrimp, our wide selection is sold in a choice of portion sizes and prepared for your convenience by our skilled fishmongers.
