One delicacy that visitors to Cromer must try is Cromer crab, a sweet and delicate variety that is unique to the area thanks to the chalk soil. Cromer crabs are often made into delicious dishes like Crab Bisque or Crab Cakes in local restaurants. Another must-try treat is the traditional Norfolk Shortcake, a melt-in-the-mouth buttery pastry often served with tea or coffee in local cafes.
