Dark, rich and full of flavour, brown crab has been overlooked for far too long. It's versatile, delicious and it offers a healthy dose of Omega-3.
Half-brothers Richard and Neville hand-pick the crab meat themselves. Then, they gently pasteurise it to ensure it's totally safe when it arrives on your door step. "Crab meat is extremely delicate," Richard notes.
His fisherman brother Neville suggests using the brown meat to make rich soups or "you can even pile it into a jacket potato". Or use it in homemade crab cakes – perfect with lime and mayo!
Neville was a skipper fishing for crab in west Cornwall. Working for someone else and watching the boat owners take the lion’s share of the boat earnings was taking its toll. Meanwhile in London, his half-brother Richard was fed up with his dreary sales job.
Richard left his job and went backpacking in Honduras, while Neville was forced from crab fishing by a terrible accident that nearly caused him to lose his arm.
He wasn't able to work for a while,'' says Richard. "We had no money and the Fishermen's Mission was helping with our grocery bills.''
The Prince’s Trust also helped them out. They’d hatched a business plan: they’d source fresh Cornish crab from fishermen that Neville knew, hand-pick the meat themselves and sell it to local restaurants. They’re now packing their gorgeous Cornish crab in little pots for us to enjoy at home, too.
