Traditional Cromer Crab

Obtain a fresh, boiled Cromer crab.

Twist off the claws and legs, then gently lever the body away from the main shell.

Remove and discard the stomach sac and the gills (dead man's fingers).

Pick all the white meat from the claws and legs, and all the white and brown meat from the main shell.

Clean the main shell thoroughly.

Mix the white meat with a tiny amount of lemon and pepper.

Place the brown meat back into the side of the shell and pile the white meat in the center for a beautiful presentation (Dressed Crab).

Serve chilled with lemon wedges and wholemeal bread.
