Cocktail Crab Claws

iCurrently out of stock - please check back soon.

Cornish crab is the best in the world - we honestly believe it to be true! All of the crab that we source is pot-caught around the clear blue waters of the Cornish coast. The crab are then carefully cooked and these cocktail claws are perfect for dipping. The shell around the meat has been carefully removed, but the tip of the claw left intact so you can hold and dip!

Each 250g pack contains 8-10 claws, enough for 2 main courses or 4 starter portions.
Landed all around the Cornish coast, and lovingly prepared in Newlyn
The Crab are pot-caught and 'Recommended' by the Cornwall Good Seafood Guide
Superior source of Omega 3 oils and high in selenium, vitamins and minerals
These cooked crab claws are great for dipping with friends

Recipes & Cooking

These cocktail claws are great for parties. They are literally ready to go and we recommend you enjoy them with a sweet chilli dip. You can also use them in crab claw dishes if you would prefer someone else to do the cracking for you!

Health & Nutrition

Did you know that crab meat is not only super delicious, but also super healthy. Both white and brown meat are superior sources Omega 3 oils, containing 1,892 mg of Omega 3 per 100 g of meat! Crab is also one of the healthiest sources of protein, is particularly rich in Selenium which plays a key role in the human’s antioxidant defence system, and is a rich source of vitamins (particularly Vitamin B2) and minerals.
Basically it is a superfood!

Sustainability & Provenance

Cornish Brown Crab stocks are healthy, and all of the crab that we source is pot-caught, which is one of the most sustainable methods of fishing. It is both low impact and very selective, and it allows for undersized and berried females to be returned to the water unharmed. Read more

Customer reviews

Dear FFT, you have a new fan!

Thank you. Had two orders last week. One for me and the other was a birthday present for my cousin Pamela. She called me to tell me that the crab was the sweetest most succulent she had ever eaten! Phoned the next day to say the same about the kippers and then sent pictures on Facebook to show the fish which she had cooked with black butter!

Top marks!

You are probably aware that I am in receipt of my fish order from you. Really impressed by the way everything was beautifully packed. Looking forward to sampling the Dressed Crab and Cocktail Claws, and of course the Provencal Fish Stew. Thank you.

Delighted

Delighted to receive our combination box on time and it is always exciting to open it and to plan a few menus using the delicious sauces. Homemade fish pie tonight! Delighted to see that you are moving towards ready cooked meals and the crab bake was great for lunch for a single person. We will be repeating that order and I would have thought there was a big market for you in these products, particularly single portions for OAPs who want something to pop into the Aga. Freezer well stocked now!

How much weight do Live Lobsters lose when cooked?

The Lobster weight listed on our shop are 'live' weight. All Lobsters lose a small amount of weight once cooked. The general guideline would be:
10-15% loss for a Cooked Lobster
15-20% loss for a Cooked, Split and Cleaned Lobster

What to expect when you purchase a Lobster

Delicious White Meat - this can be found in the tail and claws of the Lobster
Tomalley - this is the soft green, red or black substance which is found in the body cavity of Lobsters that fulfills the function of both the liver and pancreas.
It is perfectly safe to eat and is often considered a delicacy. It may be eaten alone or used in sauces for flavour and as a natural thickening agent.

How soon can you deliver?

Normally this is within 48 hours (taking into account that we deliver Tuesday to Saturday). This allows us time to source, prepare, dispatch and deliver your order to you.

For example, if you place an order Monday, we can deliver Wednesday. Place an order on Friday, we can deliver on Tuesday.

However, please note that during busy periods this may be a longer leadtime.

What to expect when you order a Live Lobster

When you receive your lobster, remove it from the protective packaging that it has travelled in. Place the lobster on a tray, cover it with a damp cloth or tea-towel and put the tray into the refrigerator until you are ready to cook it. At 4oC, or below, a lobster will drift into a hibernative state. We would recommend cooking your lobsters within 24hrs of receipt

What to expect when you order a cooked Lobster

White Meat can be found in the tail and claws of the Lobster. In some female lobsters you may find Tomalley - this is the soft, dark green or red substance which is found in the body cavity of Lobsters, that fulfils the function of both the liver and pancreas. It is perfectly safe to eat and is often considered a delicacy. It may be eaten alone or used in sauces for flavour and as a natural thickening agent.

What to expect when you buy Live Mussels

Our mussels arrive with you live. To store them, leave them in the net that they arrive in. Twist the net so that any slack is taken up and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or tea-towel and place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare them. We would recommend using the mussels within 24-36hrs of receipt. NOT suitable for home freezing unless you cook them first

What to expect when you purchase Oysters

To store your oysters once they arrive, remove them from all packaging and place them on a tray, or plate. Make sure you place them cupped-side down, with the ‘flat’ side uppermost. Cover them with a damp cloth or tea-towel and place them in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them. We would recommend eating the oysters within 24-36hrs of receipt. NOT suitable for home freezing unless you cook them first

What to expect when you purchase Crab Meat

We only sell fresh hand-picked Cornish crab meat and whilst the pickers are experts, they are not infallible. Please be aware that occasionally a small piece of shell may get left in the pot with the meat.

Can I amend or add to my existing order?

Please call one of the Team on 01208 262202 and we will assist you with this.

Will Fresh Fish Always Be Available?

Rest assured that we will make every effort to source fresh product for your order, however, if we are unable to do so for any reason, we will replace it with a frozen alternative.

The availability of all seafood at market can be impacted by many different factors – Seasonality, bad weather, tidal variations, which boats are landing, or even good old-fashioned fisherman’s luck… and in the current circumstances, unprecedented demand has further added to uncertainty.When fish happen to be plentiful at market, we try to buy a little extra which we expertly prepare and blast freeze, here on site, for just such an eventuality. The replacement should arrive with you frozen. Do not re-freeze seafood that has defrosted.

Unlike many of our competitors, we will NEVER send you frozen, or previously-frozen, lobsters. ALL our lobsters are cooked fresh to order on the premises. This allows for them to be frozen on receipt, should you wish to consume them at a later date
