1 SALCOMBE CRABFEST SOUTH DEVON, APRIL 30
Kicking off the 2023 seafood festival season is Salcombe Crabfest. A fabulous celebration of south Devon’s flavoursome brown crab, this is an action-packed day out and is completely free to attend.
For one day only, much of the pretty sailing town of Salcombe becomes pedestrianised, making way for an incredible meandering street market, selling everything from crab pasties to artwork and clothing.
With a chefs’ demo marquee on the town’s quayside, visitors will be treated to show cookery from locally and nationally acclaimed chefs – learn a host of new crab dishes, and pick up some top tips and techniques on easily preparing this delicious crustacean. With past visiting chefs including BBC1’s host Matt Tebbutt, plus fellow TV regulars
