One 1.1-1.4kg crab per person as a main, or 100-150g of picked meat per person.

Crab is landed all year round, and the Cornwall Good Seafood Guide says it is at its best in the winter months when crabs are less likely to be moulting.

Keep cooked crab and crab meat covered in the coldest part of the fridge at 0-4°C and eat within 1 to 2 days.

Picked crab meat can be frozen for up to 1 month and thawed in the fridge, though the brown meat may soften a little; dressed crab is best eaten fresh.

Mix a little brown meat into the white with lemon juice and black pepper for a richer crab sandwich.
