Local, Fresh & Delicious Seafood in Teignmouth, Devon

Welcome to the Crab Shack website.  At the Crab Shack we have first hand experience in seafood and have owned our own fishing boats for nearly 30 years.  Team this with our chef, Josh Martin, and our hero crabbing crew we bring only the finest catch to your plate. Located in Teignmouth in beautiful South Devon Seafood this way

Our Promise

  • Fresh from our own boats, delivered direct to your table

    Our boats, named 'La Vagabonde Des Mer' & 'The Royal Escape', fish off the fast tidal waters in the English channel. They are called a 'vivier boat' which is french for 'live holding tank'. The centre of our boats are full of water, enabling us to keep the crabs and lobsters alive.

  • Sustainable fishing methods are used

    Crab, Spider Crab and Lobster are not a precious stock species, therefore they’re not quotered like other fish stocks. However, we at Seafood House and The Crab Shack are fully committed to managing them properly in order for our methods to continue to be a sustainable fishery.

  • Our by-catch is released alive

    The process of catching the crabs is a very environmentally friendly procedure. We lay baited pots on the seabed not harming the corals or bed itself. We only select the best quality crab and lobster and return the remainder back to the sea alive.

Teignmouth Flood Defence

The RiverBeach in Teignmouth, directly outside the Crab Shack has been undergoing some major flood defence works this last couple of months. We have been told the works should have moved away from our beach by April 2012. They will continue to work along the river beach for the rest of this season. Hopefully this will not be too disruptive for us during the summer months. Rest assured, the finished work will hopefully make the whole area have a more upmarket feel. We will keep you updated.
