Brown Crab
Brown crab or Cancer Pagurus have a robust, reddish-brown shell with a characteristic ‘pie-crust’ edge and distinctive black tips to the claws.
White meat is delicate, sweet to taste with a fine texture and is considered to be the premium part of the crab. White meat can be extracted from the claws, legs or body. It can be enjoyed entirely on its own or often as part of a salad or pasta dish.
Brown meat from the crab body has a stronger, more savoury taste than the white meat and a paste-like texture. It is a popular choice ingredient for soups, mousses and crabcakes.
As part of a balanced diet, crab meat is highly nutritious and offers several health benefits. Rich in protein and low in fat, crab provides a great source of vitamins including B12 and minerals such as zinc, selenium and copper.
Crab Meat
Our meats are vacuum packed in clear packaging and frozen in thin slabs of 2kg.
This makes them quick and easy to evenly and safely defrost. Boxes for sale are usually made up to 16kg.
We can produce bespoke mixtures of all our meats depending on the finished product specifications of our retail customers.
White Meat
Our white meat is a combination of claw meat which is 100% handpicked and leg meat from the thigh that is extracted using a leg blown machine. Delicious on its own or with a hint of lemon and great in salads this is widely considered the premium meat.

Crab Claws
Whole Crab Claws
