Based from our purpose-built factory in Stromness, we buy, process, and sell brown crab predominately sourced from Orkney. Orkney crab is highly regarded for its exceptional taste, which is attributed to the geography and geology of the islands. The cold, clean waters, rich with nutrients brought by the strong Atlantic tides from the west meeting the North Sea on the east provide an ideal environment for the crabs to thrive, resulting in a superior flavour and texture.

We process up to 2000 tonnes of crab per year, which goes into products for major UK retailers such as M&S, Tesco, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s. We also have additional sales in crab claws, whole crab and whelks mainly to Europe and Asia.

Our factory employs over fifty employees with various roles including processing operatives, quality controllers, maintenance and warehouse staff through to administration and distribution personnel. All our factory operatives receive an hourly pay rate above the Real Living Wage for Scotland.
