Aberdeen, a pivotal hub in the Scottish seafood sector, boasts a significant crab industry, primarily focusing on brown crab and velvet crab. Its strategic North Sea location provides access to rich fishing grounds, making it a key landing and processing point. Companies like Amity Fish Company and Thistle Seafoods contribute to Aberdeen's reputation as a centre for high-quality crab, supplying both domestic and international markets.
Aberdeen's processing facilities, including those at Peterhead (a major port nearby often associated with Aberdeen's seafood trade), handle substantial volumes of crab, ensuring fresh and frozen products. The Aberdeen Fish Market and direct sales to hospitality underpin local trade, while exports to Europe and Asia are crucial. This industry provides vital employment in fishing, processing, and logistics, reinforcing Aberdeen's maritime heritage and economic strength.
