    Hi all, Has anyone ever seen any? I can't remember finding any in howth or any of the seafood shops in town... But maybe one of them can procure them? If you've seen any, please do tell:) (plus norway is a huge producer these days, so it wouldn't be so hard to import for a fish shop I believe)

    The Chinese Supermarket at the Jervis Luas stop always seemed to have fresh crab. I think they were brown crab though. I've rarely seen fresh crabs in any Fish Mongers around town. I'd be interested to see what other people say...

    yeah the brown crab is quite delicious, and you can find it at the asian shops around jervis(all 4 that I usually visit usually stock them).

    King crab on the other hand... not much luck...

    Looks like this:

    looks great indeed.
    Too bad it's a little far from dart/luas, but I guess there might be some buses that go nearby

    The 40(40a/40d) and the 140 all stop within a 2 minute walk of it.

    If you go to Taste of The Sea be sure to pick up some Shark Steaks and some Swordfish - really good cheap meaty fish, and excellent for a BBQ.
