Peeler Crab

#1 Post by Marty Harrison »

An impromptu trip to Wicklow has come up for the weekend, does anyone know where I could buy some crab in the area?

Thanks in advance,

Marty

Des O'Neill of Hayes' Cycles in Wexford town had them about a week ago. I know it is a bit of a trip, but if you are stuck try these

Hayes Cycles,053 9122462
Dave Scallon 053 9124037
Murphys 053 9124717

There are also shops in Gorey and Enniscorthy, but I haven't used them.

You could try the new East Coast Dog and Gun in Gorey. They might be able to order it if you ring them in advance.

Sorry, not ideal.

BTW, with the whole length of the Gorey Bypass now open, Gorey is about 25 minutes from Wicklow town. East Coast Dog and Gun is about 2 minutes off the bypass.

Should have also said Viking in Bray. Don't use them myself but they might be on the way for you if you're travelling from the North ...
