To be honest man frozen seems to do the job just as good if not better IMO . Try tightlines off the site if you are stuck or give henrys tackle shop a buzz and get him to hold a few for you . That worked for me previously :)

Tallagh rod and gun are doing them as well but ya need to ring them beforehand and they will get them in........1.50 per crab :?

if you can souce good frozen ones they will work just as well and they normally peel alot easier after a spell in the freezer ,one sign of good frozen crab is the condition of the lungs if they have gone blackish in colour they arnt tip top :wink:
dave tilly is good for crab and normally has a few fresh available ,and normally a good stock of frozen :wink:
