Our range: carefully selected

At Live Seafood, quality comes first. What started with North Sea crab has grown into a wide range of high-quality shellfish and fish, which we deliver live or fresh to customers at home and abroad. Thanks to our large storage capacity and stable supply, we can deliver year-round and respond to the wishes of our customers.

In addition to our specialisation in brown North Sea crab and exports to China, we also offer Canadian and European lobster, Norwegian king crab, mitten crab, crayfish (in season) and fresh salmon fillet. All our products are handled with care and can be delivered to the customer live or fresh.

North Sea crab

North Sea crab is not yet equally appreciated in every European country, but fortunately we are still seeing growth and increased awareness of the crab. And that’s how it should be, because the claw meat of a well-filled North Sea crab is just as good as the much more highly prized lobster, and the white and brown meat of the crab is also ideal for salads, sandwiches or crab burgers. Live Seafood has saltwater tanks in which it can keep the crab alive without stress, so that the customer receives the crab alive. A crab that is dead quickly becomes poisonous, which is why dead crab can no longer be used for consumption.

Chinese mitten crab

The Chinese mitten crab is extremely popular among Asians all over the world. Unfortunately for the trade and fishermen, this crab is subject to European legislation on exotic species, despite the fact that it has been present in the Netherlands for almost 120 years. As a result, trade in mitten crab is only permitted within Dutch borders. Nevertheless, there is also a good market for mitten crab within the Netherlands. Mitten crab is a seasonal product that is mainly caught in the months of October to December. The rest of the year, the product is only available in limited quantities.

The nutritional values of mitten crab per 100 grams are approximately: 127 kcal energy, 7.15 grams fat, of which 0 grams saturated fat, and 13 grams protein. It also contains 0 grams carbohydrates and 1 gram salt.

Lobster

Canadian lobster has become an integral part of the European menu. After all, who doesn’t like lobster? That’s why we import lobster from Canada for sale in Europe. We also regularly have European lobster in stock, which is caught in the same pots as North Sea crab. Because fishermen do not (yet) focus on European lobster, the supply is often limited.
