It’s about more than just producing seafood; it’s about respect—for the resource, for the craft, and for each other.

Most of the time it’s just us, the swell, and a bit of radio crackle. The gear’s simple. The rules are simpler — don’t take more than you should, and don’t mess with what’s not yours.

Call it sustainable if you want. We just call it decent.
That’s the story behind the sweet ones.

DYK? This crab doesn’t do sideways. 🦀
Unlike most crabs, the Fraser Isle Spanner Crab moves forward and backward — no side-stepping here.
With its fiery red shell and spanner-shaped claws, it’s already a standout, but it gets better: in the wild, it buries itself in the sand, lying in wait like a true ambush artist.
We’re talking stealth, strength, and serious survival skills — all packed into one curious crustacean.

For us, it’s not just about the gear; it’s about building a culture where safety is second nature. From equipment designed to avoid entanglements to straightforward, clear practices that keep risks low, we aim to set the highest standards.

Discover the understated luxury of Fraser Isle Spanner Crab, a seafood delicacy with a character all its own. With an almost velvety texture, some say it’s closer to a scallop than a typical crab. Imagine this delicate meat folded through fresh pasta, lifted with hints of basil and olive oil, or gracing a seafood platter as an elegant centrepiece.

If you can sauté an onion, you can cook raw spanner crab. Promise. 🦀

It's all about the colour. Here are two suggestions to get it just right:

👩‍🍳 Sautéed: A little olive oil or butter, 2–3 mins in the pan until it turns a solid white colour. Add a splash of white wine and fresh herbs — perfect in pasta, risotto, or tacos.

🌿 Steamed: 3–4 mins in a steamer basket keeps it moist and tender. Ideal for salads or crab cakes.
