Sweet, white nuggets of Cornish crab are carefully hand-picked by half-brothers Richard and Neville in Cornwall.
They gently pasteurise the crab 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 stirring the white meat into linguine with coriander, chilli, garlic and tomatoes.
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.
