Description / Whole Cooked King Crab

These crabs were previously called Spider Crabs. To increase the popularity, they have been rebranded as Cornish King Crab by The Cornish Fish Producers Organisation (CFPO).

Store cooked spider crabs at 0-5°C and consume within two days. Spider crabs are adversely affected by freezing and so we wouldn’t encourage this as it will impact your enjoyment of the meat. If you choose to freeze, please follow your freezer manufacturers instructions.. All items are sold as approximate weight.

Weather, tides, seasonality and catch numbers can affect availability.

Cornish Fish Delivery - From the Sea to Your Plate

Our fresh fish and cornish seafood are landed at small harbours around the Cornish coast. Primarily from the small day boat fleet which fish the inshore waters using a range of traditional methods including pots, hand lining and gill nets. These small boats target particular species and land the freshest prime fish which is highly desired by top chefs. 

Our fish is expertly prepared for each order by our fishmonger Matthew Stevens. The fish is bought directly from boats landing in St Ives or from the Cornish fish markets including the historic Newlyn Harbour. Within hours the fish will have been prepped and vac packed ready to be sent out with our couriers for overnight chilled delivery to your door.

Cornwall Fish Delivery FAQs

 

What are your order deadlines?

We have a 3-day lead time on our orders. All our fish is bought and prepped specifically for each order so you can be sure your fish is completely fresh when it arrives with you.

 

How can I be sure my fish will arrive chilled?

We use innovative and completely recyclable or reusable packaging designed to keep your order chilled and in prime condition for at least 48 hours after dispatch. Over 99.8% of all our orders arrive the next day less than 24 hours after we dispatch them.

 

Can my order be frozen?

The fish we send you will be fresh and therefore suitable for home freezing. On very rare occasions we may have to fulfil our orders with frozen fish due to extreme weather conditions meaning boats are unable to fish off the Cornish coast.

 

How is the seafood packaged for delivery?

Our fish & seafood comes vacuum-packed to ensure it remains in prime condition using the minimum amount of plastic packaging as possible. Our delivery boxes use innovative paper-based insulated packaging combined with reusable ice blocks which will keep your fish in top condition for a minimum of 48 hours.

 

Where do you deliver to?

We deliver all over the UK from Wednesday through to Sunday each week. The Highlands and Islands can be delivered to by arrangement as courier charges and delivery times vary. Please contact us on 01872 211533 to arrange delivery to these areas.

 

I am ordering for a special occasion. Can you guarantee my fish will be with me on time?

We dispatch your order to arrive on the delivery day you selected on checkout. However, on rare occasions there can be delays on the courier network due to weather or other issues so we do not guarantee the delivery day and cannot provide refunds or replacements for delayed deliveries unless the quality of the product has been compromised.

You can upgrade your delivery on checkout to a ‘before 12’ delivery but if your order is for a special occasion, we would recommend ordering your delivery to arrive the day before in case of any courier issues.

 

Can you tell me which boat and where my fish was caught?

Our fishmongers buy fish from a variety of boats landing at harbours around the Cornish coast. All our fish will be labelled as caught in the Northeast Atlantic which is the legal area the UK waters are in. All our Cornish fish & seafood will carry this as their origin.
