Product description

Rich and delicious, this Brown Crab Meat is hand-picked from the shell. To make (arguably) one of the best sandwiches in existence, mix it with an equal amount of white meat, a dollop of mayo and some salt and pepper, then give it a squeeze of lemon and pile between chunky slices of granary bread. Our delicious crabmeat is put into pots, then left unpasteurised in its natural state (please store in the fridge).

Origins

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.

Fishmonger's Tips

Hen crabs may be smaller than the male (cock) crabs, but what they lack in size they make up for in quality and flavour. The hen crabs have smaller claws, so have less white meat, but the brown meat they contain is sweet and makes for superb eating.

How to Cook

This ready-cooked crab meat is ready to use, in delicious salads, sandwiches, crabcakes, soups and more. See our 'Inspiration' section for ideas.
