About Fresh Hand-Picked White Spider Crab Meat 200g
Spider crabs, notable for their considerable size and spiky exoskeleton, are abundant along Cornwall's coast. These crustaceans can reach a claw span of up to 80 cm. Their claws are filled with succulent, moist white meat, which is highly valued as a delicacy in Spain and France, though it remains underappreciated in the UK despite its delectable flavor. Harvested by hand from the ‘Cornish King Crab,’ this mildly sweet, moist, and delicately flavored white spider crab meat offers a distinguished alternative to traditional white crab meat.
Free from artificial additives or preservatives, only a touch of natural rock salt is used during cooking.
Fresh Hand-Picked White Spider Crab Meat 200g
A nice shift on the market this morning with Dover sole back after a few months away spawning. Always one people gravitate towards when it returns and worth a look if you’ve been waiting for it.
The Disco scallops are still coming through in good numbers and represent solid value, and there’s plenty of Chalkstream trout about too. The smoked haddock has come out of the kiln well, and there’s a good run of South West shellfish on the counter to round things off.
With 2,500 portions across 26 species it’s one of those markets where everything feels nicely in place as we head towards the weekend. Eat better fish.
Carpe piscem!
