Fresh Crabs from Beer in Devon for Tea!

Bought two crabs from the fish shop on the beach at Beer in Devon on Bank Holiday Monday for £10 ie £2.50 per pound. Lovely litle fish shop with fresh fish from the boats that land daily on the beach below the shop. We saw a big box of large crabs, that had been landed that morning and had been cooked so were still very warm. Eating them for tea a couple of hours later took well over an hour as extracting the flesh, cracking the claws etc is a long fiddly process. Good fun though! Beautiful delicate, nutty, slightly salty flavour. When this fresh crab is not at all fishy.
