Considerations for the Upcoming Brown Crab Season in the United Kingdom

The brown crab season in the United Kingdom is almost finished and is set to restart in May 2023. It is important to note that the Asian market typically only buys crabs during the best season, which is from October to December when the crabs are full of roe. Therefore, it may be beneficial for UK crab fishermen to focus on exporting their catch during this period to meet the demands of the Asian market. Additionally, it is currently observed that crab fishing is short and most of the crabs are being sold fresh instead of cooked and frozen.
