Crab Sandwich
A brown crab gives two fillings, sweet white and deep brown, and the crab sandwich is an argument about the ratio. Hand-picked meat on buttered brown bread, sold at the quay where the boats land.

Crab and Lemon
Sweet white crab turned through a lemon mayonnaise on buttered brown bread, the acid worked into the bind so every flake carries the same lift. The English seaside crab sandwich at its cleanest.
Crab and Chive
Crab meat with chive mayonnaise; mild onion complements sweet crab.
Cockles and Laverbread
Cockles and laverbread on toast leads with the seaweed: laver boiled to a dark mineral purée, often oatmeal-rolled and fried in bacon fat, the cockles the sweet briny answer. A Welsh breakfast.
Cockle Sandwich
Boiled shelled cockles dressed in malt vinegar on buttered soft white bread, eaten standing at a Swansea Market stall. A South Wales coast and Penclawdd Gower tradition.
