Freshness, Quality & Unrivalled Taste

Our East Coast crabs, hailing from the waters of Hinchinbrook to Princess Charlotte Bay, are known for their sweet, subtle flavour and succulent texture. Their rich, delicate meat is a testament to the purity of their natural habitat, making each bite a luxurious taste of the sea.

On the other hand, our Gulf crabs from the Gulf of Carpentaria offer a slightly more robust flavour, characterised by a deeper, richer taste that is beautifully offset by their natural saltiness. Their meat is incredibly tender yet firm, offering a satisfying contrast that makes each mouthful a delightful experience.

Whether you prefer the subtle sweetness of the East Coast crabs or the rich complexity of the Gulf crabs, both varieties are sure to tantalise your taste buds.
