خرچنگ آبی اژه — توضیح کامل

Elite Callinectes sapidus hand-harvested from Aegean coastal lagoons. Shipped live or pasteurized cup-packs under cold chain for fine-dining appetizers.

Blue crab is a wild-caught fishery product rather than a farmed one, and that shapes everything about how it trades: volumes follow the catch, grading follows what comes aboard, and the premium sits with the sweet white body meat rather than with size alone.

VARS supplies it live, fresh-frozen and boiled-frozen. Live product is held chilled at 0–4 °C, frozen at −18 °C, and the format decides the route — live and chilled move by air because hours matter, frozen by reefer container because it does not. At 90 kcal and 19 g of protein per 100 g it is lean, and it is bought for flavour rather than for yield.

The main destinations are foodservice and processing, where boiled-frozen product goes straight into picking lines. Every consignment carries its health certificate, certificate of analysis and certificate of origin, and traces back to the catch and the processing facility — which is what makes the health certificate mean anything.
