  • Brixham crab is widely recognised as the best crab in the world and there's only one thing that makes this beautiful crab even more sublime, a rich, creamy Thermidor sauce - this is the perfect, sustainable festive feast.  

    The locally and sustainably caught brown crabs are steamed the morning they are landed, they're then hand-picked and the wonderful white and brown meat put back into the shell. A fabulous rich sauce is made by hand and generously poured over the brown and white meat, a few gluten free breadcrumbs and a handful of fresh herbs are scattered over the top to finish this magnificent feast. Then all you have to do is pop it in the oven to warm through and there you have it, a remarkable festive feast in a flash!

    We recommend serving this Crab Thermidor as a wonderful starter alongside some vibrant rocket, sourdough bread, and a a glass of Swanaford's Brut Rosé.

    "I have eaten crab all over the world and have come to the conclusion that the waters of the South West of England are home to the best brown crab in the World. The deep, fast flowing water off the English Channel is a rich source of food and the rocky coastline makes a perfect habitat." Mitch Tonks
