| The Crab Shed in Salcombe |
This rustic-style restaurant, situated near to the Fish Quay in Salcombe, has only been open a year but has already established a good reputation for fresh seafood, in particular crab and lobster. This may not be surprising as the restaurant is perched over their own crab factory where they produce hand picked fresh crabmeat. They also source fish and shellfish directly from the local boats. As always, the key to the best seafood is freshness and quality and in these respects The Crab Shed hits the mark.
Whole fresh crab was an obvious choice here and we were not disappointed. The large crab provided had been caught and cooked within the previous 24 hours. The crab arrived prepared and on a bed of crisp, fresh mixed salad. A side order of fries completed the meal ! At the Crab Shed they remove the brown and white body meat from their crabs and mix together before pressing back into the shell. The claws are intact and contain the usual high quality white claw-meat. This ensures that all the crabs served are of consistent quality and crammed with a generous portion of the freshest crabmeat. An alternative dish which we tried was the crabmeat on fresh bread with avocado and salad. Again the emphasis was on quality and freshness of all the ingredients. If you want an unbeatable fresh crab experience then head down to The Crab Shed in Salcombe - you won't regret it.
