We prepare and cook our own locally caught seafood daily and our reputation for quality and freshness is known throughout East Devon.
Crab:
You can buy crab cooked in the shell, or as picked crabmeat, fresh or frozen. Crabmeat comes as lump crabmeat (body meat), backfin (smaller pieces of body meat), and flake (shreds and flakes from all parts of the crab). To freeze crabmeat, wrap it carefully in freezer paper or plastic and over-wrap with a plastic bag. Store for up to two months.
Whelks:
Whelks should be cooked soon after capture by boiling for 8 to 10 minutes for small, and 15 to 20 minutes for large ones at 212°F. Excessive boiling makes the meat very tough and less easily removed from the shell. The meats are removed from the shells by hand, and can be sold fresh, frozen, or pickled in vinegar,
Lobster:
As the one in the picture shows, our lobsters are fair size and fresh daily and cooked by us on the premises so all you need to do is enjoy the local flavour of the freshest seafood.
However, the extra effort involved in cooking your own lobster ensures you will get the best-tasting meat, so here's how:
Take a six inch deep pan, put five inches of water in it and add enough salt to make an egg float. Bring to the boil, turn to simmer, and put the lobster in for 18 minutes. It's as easy as that.
(if you want to you can put the lobster into the freezer for several minutes
to numb it prior to cooking)
