Brown crab is the large native British crab, cooked whole and sold by weight. It gives two kinds of meat: sweet, flaky white meat from the claws and legs and rich brown meat from the body, with a deeper, almost nutty note that spreads well on toast.
We sell it cooked at the Barnes counter, and we will crack the claws or pick and dress the whole crab by hand. Just ask.
A cooked crab needs no further cooking. Twist off the claws and legs, crack them for the white meat, scoop the brown meat from the body and discard the feathery gills. Lemon, mayonnaise and brown bread finish it.
Cut to order
Tell us how you want it in the order notes. Filleting, pin-boning and skinning are free, by hand at the counter. If you ask for a fish to be trimmed, headed or skinned, the finished weight comes down accordingly.
