Crustaceans
As impressive looking as they are tasty, our crustaceans offer you some of the finest seafood available in the UK. Our wide range of crustaceans is built using only quality and sustainably caught raw material. Whether it’s crab or lobster you’re looking for, we have a range of options to tailor to your business’s needs.
Crab
Crab is one of the most extensive and impressive product ranges at Sykes Seafood. One that goes from crab claws, packed with delicate fresh meat, to pre-prepared, dressed crab. We can assure you that our range of crab is guaranteed to impress even the most discerning diner. Simply serve as part of an elegant dish or on its own as a sophisticated starter.
Dressed Crab
Dressed crab simply means cooked crab meat that has been taken out of the shell. Imagine a divine mixture of white and brown crab meat that has already been carefully and expertly extracted and presented elegantly back into its shell. Our traditionally pot-caught crabs come from the North Sea and are expertly and sustainably sourced. All the hard work has been done for you; simply defrost and serve.
Whole Crab
The beauty of frozen crab is that it’s so convenient and can eliminate any risk of waste as you take out what you need from the freezer when you need it. Our whole brown crabs are traditionally pot caught in the North Sea. Simply defrost, and they are ready to be cracked and eaten. In addition to the succulent meat in the claws and knuckles, the body contains a mix of brown and white meat. The shell of the whole crab can be hollowed out and then packed full of meat to create an appetising dressed crab, served in a natural shell.
Crab Claws
Rose sauce. However, you can always add crab claw meat to Asian-style dishes, as they pair beautifully with garlic and chilli. Simply defrost and serve as and when you need them.
Crab Legs
Our snow crab legs are a perfect and premium addition to any menu. We’ve pre-cooked them so you can defrost them in the fridge and then eat them cold with salad, or reheat to serve with pasta or risotto. Breaking the meat out of the legs is all part of the fun and these delicious legs would provide a unique mealtime experience if served alone.
Lobsters
We offer whole North American lobsters in both a cooked and raw variety. Lobster is a luxurious treat however you go about adding it to the menu. You can leave the magnificence of a whole lobster to do all the talking and make this high-end product the star of the show. Or incorporate lobster meat with pasta, a fish pie or risotto to add a touch of luxury. Our lobsters are responsibly sourced from North American/Canadian waters and frozen immediately after catch to lock in the freshness. Once defrosted, it’s as close to fresh as the day it was caught.
The lobster’s tail is arguably the most favoured section due to its abundance of meat. This elegant ingredient is excellent for a unique feature on your menu or your supply list, a guaranteed crowd-pleaser every time. Or if you want the best meat of the lobster but don’t want to crack it open yourself. We offer a great alternative, let your customers enjoy premium bite after bite with our pre-extracted lobster claw meat, perfect for that element of class to more intricate recipes.
The number of recipes is endless. Serve in a decadent mac and cheese dish, prepare the tails with a spicy cajun marinade, or prepare a classic lobster thermidor.
Our traditional pot caught crabs’ claws are big enough to extract big, luscious chunks from. Suiting a wide variety of cuisines, crab claw meat is delicate but can take on a wide variety of flavour combinations. To bring out the best of their natural flavourings, serve hot with a lemon and butter dipping sauce or cold with a tangy Marie
