Spider crab linguini
Friday’s are always super busy but I try to take time in the morning for a coffee, getting my eggs for the pasta to make ravioli for the market and do a walk around the local shops. This morning I knew Jenkins & Son Fishmongers had crab claws. When I got there it was spider … Continue reading
Squid Ink and crab pasta with tomato salsa
Sometimes I want something quick and easy. Pasta is perfect go to food and this week when I was making pasta for the market I made extra for dinner. I had friends coming for dinner and didn’t have a starter, or time to prep. This is a super quick recipe and it hit the spot. … Continue reading
Crab cakes with tartar style sauce
It feels like winter has arrived again. After some warm weather temperatures dropped, there were casualties at the allotment and I actually got my winter jacket out. I was thinking of warming stews and soups when I saw crabs at the fishmonger. They are the first of the year that I have seen and I had … Continue reading
Seafood street party
Have you tried exchanging goods vs favours instead of using money? My neighbour does the most amazing meringues and was asked if she could make some for a friend. The friend offered to pay but this was rejected. The friend still wanted to give something back and when her son came home after a very … Continue reading
Crab and avocado roll in lobster and crab broth
Of all the seafood crab is one of my absolute favourites. I have seen fresh crabs for sale for a few weeks but today was the first day I have seen quite a few. I got so sidetracked I didn’t even get any scallops. A few years ago I went to a restaurant called … Continue reading
Crab salad with a lime and ginger dressing
As I walked passed the fishmonger the other day I saw a few crab claws. I needed some fish and got a good deal on the crab claws as they were the last ones. I could eat crab claws every day, even better dipped in melted butter infused with garlic and chilli. I thought that … Continue reading

I went to buy some fish for dinner the other day. The fishmonger had his usual suspects and I asked him if he would get any crabs. He scratched his head and said something about “the crabs haven’t shown so far” and I know that this actually meant that yes it is season but they … Continue reading
Seafood tower with tomato and rhubarb salsa
The allotment is finally producing and it is looking great. We only got it in December last year but M has been busy. One of the few edible things on it when we got it is rhubarb. It is so plentiful and this plant is quite sweet with a lovely tang of sour, just enough … Continue reading
Crab stick cakes
The other day I was talking to the fishmonger. As we spoke I couldn’t stop looking at some crab sticks that he had. I actually like crab stick but I wasn’t sure if M would agree. I thought if I bought some and made something interesting with them he might not object. I haven’t eaten … Continue reading
Tian of crab with mango and wasabi salsa
I was on my way to a meeting today and walked past the fishmongers. A bunch of crabs caught my eye and the fishmonger informed me that crabs are particularly good at this time of the year! I asked him to set one aside for me to pick up after my meeting, how perfect is … Continue reading
