The buying situation
You want one unmistakably Pembrokeshire food moment, but need to know what can be pre-ordered, collected and served to a crowd.
Daisy’s planning principle
Treat fresh shellfish like a booking—not an impulse buy.
Local catch is seasonal and weather-led. Ask what is available, whether lobster and crab are live, cooked or dressed, collection times and how many people the order will serve. Bring cool bags and plan a non-seafood dish for children or guests who would rather not join in.

Daisy’s do & don’t
Order the hero ingredient. Keep everything around it simple.
Serve lobster or dressed crab with good bread, salads and something easy from the oven. The pleasure is the shared table—not turning your holiday into a restaurant shift.
Before anyone transfers money
Four things to settle first.
Ask how it arrives
Live, cooked, dressed, whole or picked meat changes the plan completely.
Check quantity
Tell the supplier how many adults and children are actually eating seafood.
Protect the cold chain
Take cool bags and follow the supplier’s storage advice.
Plan the leftovers
Crab sandwiches and fishcakes can become a very good next-day lunch.
