BLUE SWIMMING CRAB

Strategic Location:
Our crab processing factories are strategically situated close to the crab resource. This proximity ensures swift logistics and fresh crab availability. Being near the source allows us to minimize transportation time, preserving the quality of the catch.

Fishing Techniques:
Our skilled fishermen employ a combination of crab traps and gill nets based on the specific environment. Crab traps are effective for capturing crabs in certain conditions, while gill nets are better suited for others. This adaptability ensures efficient and sustainable harvesting.

Harvesting and Sorting:
At our processing plants, we meticulously handpick the crabs. This careful selection ensures that only the best-quality crabs are chosen. Additionally, we collaborate with external company-managed picking plants to expand our reach. These external facilities follow the same rigorous standards as our own plants. The freshly picked crab meat undergoes thorough sorting and cleaning by our highly trained team. We remove any impurities or unwanted parts. Our experts grade the crab meat based on quality, ensuring consistency and excellence.

Meat Preparation:

  • The freshly picked crab meat undergoes thorough sorting and cleaning by our highly trained team.
  • We remove any impurities or unwanted parts.
  • Our experts grade the crab meat based on quality, ensuring consistency and excellence.

Packaging and Preservation:

  • The graded crab meat is then filled into either metal cans or plastic cups.
  • These containers are carefully sealed.
  • Our precise seaming process ensures airtight packaging, maintaining freshness.
  • Finally, the product undergoes a pasteurization step involving both hot and cold treatments. This ensures safety and extends shelf life.
