Wrong storage details!

Yes, I recommend this

This product states it is suitable for freezing, via the web-site product details. However, the packaging on the product states that it is not suitable for freezing! Annoying as I'd bought these in advance for a dinner party....M&S C/S informed and they reacted within 24 hours to my email

Not enough crab

No, I don't recommend this

These crab gratins were very light on crab and consequently didn't have much taste. A guest described his as 'more gratin than crab'. An unimpressive offering from M&S – well below your usual high standard.

Too rich

No, I don't recommend this

I love crab dishes, but this one was overwhelmingly rich and so not enjoyable for us. That said, friends who also had the dish raved about it, so just goes to show that you cannot please all of the people!

Crab? What crab?

No, I don't recommend this

A savoury meal for 2 (one gratin, even with sides, would leave you feeling hungry!) BUT I think the Orkney crab must have been waved over the packet - you certainly weren't aware of eating crab! The crunchy breadcrumbs were dominant, the sauce underneath was tasty enough but we were left feeling disappointed that the crab seemed non-existant & therefore that this dish was overpriced.

Valentines Special

Yes, I recommend this

Thoroughly enjoyed this starter. Very tasty and excellent surprise for valentines day from my partner who does not cook!!! This product is not available in our local M&S. I have also tried the Coques St Jacques from M&S Valentines special but can not seem to locate it on the on line service. This was excellent. The only downside was that there was not enough.

Interesting starter

Yes, I recommend this

I bought these as a Chridtmas starter and they were very tasty and presented really nicely in the crab shell. I did think that a little more sauce would have been nice as they were a little on the dry side.
