Crab In Season
Crab is now ‘in season’ and as far as I am aware not on the endangered list. How many people though still have access to a quality dedicated fish monger? Not many I would wager.
On-line it is then.
Sadly my first stop - Fowey Fish (a firm favourite from staying in the small Cornish town many, many times) is still developing their online store and the down-loadable product list does not include prices.
Colchester Oyster Fishery lists 250g of picked crab meat at £9.95 but postage and packaging is £12.25 to all UK destinations. Dressed crab, meat packed into a shell, come in at just £3.95 each.
Seafood Direct have 6-7 freshly caught crabs for £15 which seems very reasonable.
Annoyingly the Seafood Society requires registration before allowing site access. But they offer a large range of options - dressed, claws, meat packs and more. I did notice though that not all their products are locally sourced - soft shell crabs are brought in from Thailand for example. A whole English crab weighing over 3lb is listed at £15.40 - a big lad indeed!
