Spanner crab

Export quality. Available in selected sizes. Live, fresh-cooked and green frozen

We offer the freshest healthiest and liveliest of Spanners selected from the Queensland catch from the Noosa/Hervey Bay and Gladstone 1770 regions.

Our live Spanners will be size selected and packaged to your requirements and will be flown into Sydney anddelivered to you inside of 6-8 hours of being pulled from the holding tanks,, This will mean that Sydney chefs will actually be receiving fresher crabs than those delivered into Brisbane. Note* these crabs are ofter live in poly boxes for upto 48hrs before they reach their overseas destinations.

We are also going to be holding stock of the 750+gm green (raw) frozen export grade crabs to accomodate for comsumers during rough weather and high seas , as generally speaking the crabbing comes to a standstill once the big swells hit the north coast and its certainly nice not to have to do a menu change if its not necessary.

Luxurious Feast will be distributing a large range of Spanner crab products in the future from CEAS Crabpack meat products offering varying sizes of processed cooked and green (raw) meat hand picked and snap frozen for home use and for those restaurants that do not have the space or time to process and handpick their own crabmeat.

This low- to medium-priced crab species offers many cooking alternatives and adds a delicate crab flavour to a variety of dishes. When this crab is cooked whole, its bright orange shell is very attractive served on a buffet or platter.

The suggestions for cooking spanner crabs are almost endless. Try them pan-fried with sea salt and cracked black pepper, or coat and deep fry the claws and serve with sweet chilli or plum sauce. They are good for seafood platters, with garlic or citrus juice, or for salads with avocados and bitter greens.

For a Mediterranean touch, combine them with chervil, sorrel, chives or coriander in frittatas, quiches and omelettes.

There is nothing more memorable than to experience the flavour of a freshly halved live spanner crab chargrilled and drizzled with garlic butter and chives.
