Whole Cornish Female Crabs
Cornish Female crabs (also referred to as hens by the local fisherman and shellfish merchants) are generally smaller than the male crabs (which are called cock crabs by the locals). We offer 1000 and 1400 gram crabs as the total meat yield will be about 20-25% of the crab’s mass. So it doesn’t make sense picking smaller hen crabs as there is very little meat on them.
If you are ordering live crabs, please cook on the day of delivery and eat within three days.
If you are ordering cooked crabs, these should be consumed within two days and stored at 0-5 °C.
If you choose to freeze, please follow your freezer manufacturers instructions.
Only strong crabs will be despatched live; upon receipt they should be cooked immediately. Weather, tides, seasonality and catch numbers can affect availability during December to May. Please note: all items are sold as approximate and pre-cooked weight, some cook loss will occur. Two sizes of female crabs are available.
Two sizes are available:
1kg Live or Cooked – One Person Serving
1.4kg Live or Cooked – One to Two Person Serving
