Award winning WILD Spanner Crab from the pristine oceans near Kgari QLD. Sweet succulent & luxurious

26/01/2026

🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀 With its vibrant red-orange shell and strange spanner claws, spanner crabs move through the ocean in ways that set them apart. Unlike most crabs, the Spanner Crab doesn’t scuttle sideways but moves forward and backward, a unique trait that hints at its adaptability.

Fraser Isle Spanner Crab is celebrated for its taste. Its meat has a delicate, almost sweet flavour, often compared to lobster, with a soft, velvety texture ideal for culinary creations. From a simple, elegant pasta to a refined seafood bisque, this crab shines in any dish, adding depth and a hint of the ocean’s finest flavours.

Andre's favourite recipe? Start with fresh, high-quality fettuccine; add garlic, a bit of chilli, lemon zest, top-quality olive oil, and basil. Toss in the spanner crab meat at the end. So simple, quick and full of flavour.

Simple and Elegant

Crab on Toast with Lemon Zest and Herbs: For a simple and elegant appetiser, layer our cooked crab meat on lightly toasted baguette slices brushed with olive oil. Sprinkle on lemon zest and a few delicate herbs (we like tarragon or basil). Serve with a scattering of microgreens - so so chic.

It takes a few years (and quite a few moults) before spanner crabs are big enough to harvest.

We only harvest the adults, giving the younger ones plenty of time to grow, making sure these quirky crustaceans will be around for generations to come.

Cooking raw spanner crab meat is quick and easy. Here's one idea.

🌮 Heat a drizzle of olive oil or a k**b of butter, add the crab meat, and cook gently for about 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns opaque and tender. Add a splash of white wine and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Perfect filling for tacos.
