A Great Taste Gold award was presented to Richard and Neville when they first made this amazing Cornish potted crab.
Beneath the crisp layer of spiced butter are generous hunks of white crab meat, mixed with the richer-tasting brown meat. It's perfect on crusty bread, "or you can even stir it into pasta," says Richard.
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.
