About Princes Crab Paste
About Princes Crab Paste
Crab paste is one of those very British storecupboard staples that quietly disappears from your life the moment you move abroad, and then occupies a surprising amount of mental real estate. Princes Crab Paste is the one people mean when they say they miss crab paste: the small jar, the pale smooth spread, the particular flavour that is neither too fishy nor too subtle.
This is a 75g jar of smooth crab paste, made in the United Kingdom and imported into Canada. It spreads easily onto white bread or crackers and works just as well stirred into a sauce or mixed into a dip. The format is exactly what you remember from the supermarket shelf back home, and the flavour holds up to that memory rather than disappointing it.
At The Great British Shop, this is the kind of product that gets ordered quietly and regularly by people who know exactly what they want and do not need much convincing. British expats across Canada can order it without waiting on a parcel from the UK or hoping a visiting relative remembered to pack it.
Princes Crab Paste is dairy-free, which makes it a useful option for a wider range of sandwiches and recipes than you might expect from a small jar of fish paste. It is a straightforward product doing exactly what it is supposed to do, which is more than can be said for a lot of things.

Frequently asked questions about Princes Crab Paste
Q: What does Princes Crab Paste taste like?
A: Princes Crab Paste has a smooth, creamy texture with a rich seafood flavour built from brown crab meat, haddock and sprats. The tomato puree, lemon juice and black pepper give it a gentle savoury edge without overpowering the fish. It is the kind of paste that works best spread thickly on white bread, where the flavour is simple and satisfying rather than showy.
Q: Does Princes Crab Paste contain dairy?
A: Princes Crab Paste is dairy-free. It does contain fish, crustaceans and soya, so it is not suitable for people with allergies to any of those. The crab meat and haddock are the main protein sources, with soya protein concentrate also listed in the ingredients. Anyone with a shellfish or crustacean allergy should avoid it.
Q: What can you use Princes Crab Paste for besides sandwiches?
A: Princes Crab Paste works well beyond the sandwich. Stirred into a cream sauce for pasta, blended into a seafood dip, or spread onto crackers as a quick starter, the 75g jar is a useful size for a single recipe or a few rounds of toast. It is the sort of British pantry staple that people who grew up with fish paste sandwiches tend to keep on hand without needing much of a reason.
More about Princes Crab Paste
Princes Crab Paste sits within a small but devoted corner of the British grocery world: the fish paste shelf. Alongside anchovy paste, salmon paste and bloater paste, crab paste has been a fixture of the British storecupboard for generations, sold in small jars sized for spreading rather than cooking in bulk. The 75g format is the standard, and Princes is the name most people reach for.
For British expats and Canadians with family ties to the UK, fish paste is one of those categories that simply does not have a direct equivalent on Canadian supermarket shelves. It is not about the crab itself; it is about the specific texture, the seasoning, the jar, the ritual of it on white bread at lunchtime.
The 75g jar stores neatly in a cool, dry cupboard until opened, after which it keeps in the fridge for up to three days. It is compact, travels without fuss, and takes up almost no space, which makes it a sensible addition to a larger grocery order rather than something that needs its own special trip.
Princes produces a range of fish and meat pastes that sit naturally together as British pantry favourites; the full Princes in Canada range includes tinned fish, corned beef and other storecupboard staples worth browsing alongside.
The Great British Shop ships from within Canada, so whether you are in Guelph, Hamilton, Moncton or Halifax, the jar arrives without the delays and customs uncertainty of an overseas parcel.
