Crab processing

Crab processing involves cleaning, cooking, and preparing crabs for sale or consumption. It starts with harvesting, where crabs are caught from the wild or farms. They are typically cooked to kill them and make meat easier to extract. Once cooked, the crabs are cooled and then broken down—legs, claws, and body are separated. The edible meat is extracted carefully, sometimes frozen or packaged for distribution. Processing also includes removing non-edible parts and ensuring quality standards. The goal is to provide consumers with high-quality, safe, and conveniently prepared crab products for cooking or ready-to-eat dishes.
