Starting in June and lasting through September, this local favourite can be found growing abundantly on Britain’s shorelines. North Norfolk has some of the best supply with its largest expanse of salt marsh; one taste proves that it sure packs an ocean-infused punch – perfect grilled or steamed to bring out a milder flavour profile.<\/p>\n\n<\/ins>\n

\n\t\tCromer Crab\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Norfolk’s Northern coast is renowned for its deliciously sweet and juicy Cromer Crabs, caught off the shore of the village Cromer. The chalk shelf in this region provides an abundance of nutrients to create a particularly flavoursome treat with a tender texture and fragrant aroma. Locally produced and fresh to the plate, the crab is especially popular with tourists who come from afar to experience the brown and white meat specialty that can be found in many restaurants and caf\u00e9s across the county.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tBrancaster Mussels\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

For an incredibly delicious and beneficial seafood experience, mussels are the way to go! Farmed in Brancaster’s creeks off North Norfolk, these succulent delights are bursting with vitamins and minerals with a great taste to boot. To truly appreciate their flavour, the mussels are prepared simply for a memorable meal you’ll keep coming back for time and again. From pubs to restaurants along the coast – enjoy every bite of nature’s nutrient-packed gift!<\/p>\n

\n\t\tNorfolk Black Turkey\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

The Norfolk Black Turkey is a truly unique experience, offering discerning diners the ultimate in gourmet taste. This remarkable British breed boasts an impressive high breast bone and striking black plumage, with legs to match – all complemented by its long body shape and fine-grained gamey flavour reminiscent of pheasant. Delivering intense satisfaction at Christmas time or beyond, this traditional turkey takes significantly longer to mature than those available from factory farms today – making it well worth the wait!<\/p>\n

\n\t\tNorfolk Vinegar Cake\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Norfolk Vinegar Cake is surely a recipe from the past, yet its timeless taste will never go out of style. No eggs? No problem! This delightful cake utilizes ingredients such as flour, butter, raisins, and apple cider vinegar to craft an inspired twist on traditional fruitcake & bread pudding – though you don’t have to worry about it tasting like anything other than pure deliciousness (and not like vinegar!).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Norfolk\n\t

If you’re looking for a tasty treat to accompany your next cuppa, then look no further than the Norfolk shortcake! This traditional classic sits somewhere between an indulgently heavy scone and light crumbly biscuit. Baked into delicious squares, it’s made with all the familiar ingredients of flour, sugar, currants, egg, and butter. Perfectly sweetened with just the right amount of crumble in every bite; there might be nothing better than relaxing by yourself or good company while savouring one (or two!) out-of-this-world Norfolk Shortcakes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tStiffkey Blue Cockles\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

The delicious Stiffkey Blue Cockles, renowned as a gourmet delicacy, can be found in North Norfolk’s coastal village of the same name. Here you’ll discover muddy creeks filled with refreshingly salty water that provide an ideal habitat for these tasty treats (with a distinctive blue colour) – known to have an intense yet unique shellfish flavour. Ready-made for dishes like soups and pies or simply enjoyed steamed fresh from the sea!<\/p>\n\n<\/ins>\n

\n\t\tBinham Blue\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Binham Blue, a Norfolk delicacy made with pasteurised cow’s milk, is an ideal addition to any cheese board. The blue-veined cheese with a creamy texture and subtle flavors is set within a matte orange rind with a pale yellow interior for added depth – all this colour and taste without overpowering the palate! Perfectly suited for vegetarians too.<\/p>\n
