PEMBROKESHIRE BROWN CRAB

Fresh Welsh Brown Crab are renowned for their flavour, and quality.

Caught off the coast of Pembrokeshire, crab is full of juicy meat with the finest flavour. We source our brown crab from 5 local fishermen, using small day boats here in Pembrokeshire. For any cooked orders the crab is then prepared by our small team at our processing kitchen here in St Davids, in the early mornings after the landing to ensure the freshness and high quality. The meat lends itself to a wide range of meals from a crab linguini to a good old crab sandwich with some nice bread.

Please note the crab will be approximately 1kg live weight, however this may vary slightly depending on what’s landed by our fishermen.

If you want to save yourself some time and effort you could also consider our range of Pembrokeshire dressed crab.

Please note that occasionally this product may be unavailable due to unpredictable fishing conditions, especially coming into winter. At such times frozen dressed crab will be offered. Please let the crab thaw fully before consumption and do not re-freeze. Thank you for your understanding.

-        Normally available all year

No one knows precisely when people in West Wales first started eating laver, some say it was first introduced as a survival food by the Vikings, while others say it goes back to the very first inhabitants of Wales. I am a betting man so I like to bet that it was the first coastal inhabitants, and I would to take a bow to the very first man or women who took that bold step into the unknown world of laver seaweed and put it on their plate....
