Landed on the East Yorkshire coast and shaped by generations of knowledge, Bridlington Bay shellfish is among the finest in British waters. Our coastline produces exceptional lobster, brown crab, velvet crab and whelks, prized for their flavour, freshness and consistency.
The Lobster Capital of Europe
Bridlington is widely recognised as Europe’s leading lobster port, landing over 300 tonnes each year. Local boats work close to shore using trusted potting methods, bringing in shellfish with exceptional texture and taste.
Freshness, provenance and pride
Because our shellfish is caught nearby and handled locally, it benefits from a short, transparent supply chain. From the moment it leaves the sea, quality is carefully protected, ensuring natural sweetness and excellent condition.
