Irish Crab Meat
The fishermen working the seas off Ireland bring us a real bounty every day, like Irish crab meat - low in fat and full of goodness.
It’s naturally nutritious and brim-full of protein, Omega 3 and essential vitamins and minerals.
For lunch, salads or dinner, Irish Crabmeat is a delicious shellfish you buy cooked and ready to go, in your supermarket or fishmonger’s.


Heat a little olive oil in a large pan. Add some chopped garlic and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook gently until the garlic is golden and the tomatoes have softened. Add a little lemon juice then remove from the heat and stir through the crab meat and basil. Add to cooked pasta and serve.

Mix the crab meat with some home-made mayonnaise or for a quick option stir some lemon zest and juice, fresh herbs and seasoning through shop bought mayonnaise. Serve with some lightly dressed salad leaves and Traditional Brown Soda Bread.

Melt a little butter over a low heat. Add some finely chopped garlic and cook gently for a couple of minutes. Add the crab claws and warm through. Stir though some freshly chopped parsley, dill, coriander or chives and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve.
