White Crab Meat, Handpicked, 454g

White Crab Meat Handpicked is 454g of handpicked white crab meat – the sweet, delicate meat picked from the claws and legs of cooked British crabs, with no shell fragments and a fine, clean flavour. White crab meat handpicked is the finest and most versatile form of prepared crab. As a result, it suits the widest range of preparations from a dressed crab to a refined crab tart. Furthermore, handpicking ensures the finest texture and the complete absence of shell fragments that machine-picked alternatives often contain. In particular, at 454g this is a generous quantity for a dinner party starter or a substantial crab salad.

About White Crab Meat Handpicked

We source our lobster and crab from carefully selected British fishermen and trusted specialist suppliers. In particular, native lobster from British waters is among the finest crustaceans available anywhere in the world. As a result, we work only with fishermen who use sustainable pot-fishing methods that protect both the fishery and the quality of the catch. Furthermore, crab quality depends entirely on handling from boat to door. However, poorly handled crab or lobster loses flavour quickly and arrives in poor condition. In particular, we maintain a cold chain from catch to delivery that preserves every product at its finest. Additionally, we source both live and prepared products to suit every level of kitchen confidence. That commitment to quality and traceability drives every sourcing decision we make. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose White Crab Meat Handpicked From Us

Cooking lobster and crab rewards confidence, a little knowledge and excellent sourcing above all else. In contrast to other luxury seafood, lobster and crab suit both very simple and quite elaborate preparations. As a result, a live lobster split and grilled with butter is as outstanding as a classical lobster thermidor. Furthermore, prepared crab meat requires no cooking and suits immediate use in salads, sandwiches and dressed presentations. However, soft shell crab is the exception – it cooks very quickly in a hot pan or fryer and suits Asian and American preparations beautifully. In particular, overcooking is the enemy of all crustacean cookery. Moreover, good butter, lemon and restraint are the finest companions for lobster. Additionally, the cooking liquor from any crab or lobster preparation makes an outstanding bisque or shellfish sauce. That breadth of use is what makes this category so rewarding for the confident cook.
