Description

Introduction

Crab consumption is not very common in Pakistan, but there are still good numbers of people who sought this highly prized delicacy of the Arabian Sea.

Since Mud crabs are highly demanded in the international market, 90 percent of local Mud crab catch is exported from Pakistan, but there is still some of it left for local consumption. Mud crab is famous for its larger sizes and high meat yield as compared to other locally available varieties of crabs.

There are two variants of mud crab generally found in Pakistan. The first and most common variant is the export rejected (rejected when either of the claw is broken). These mud crabs are very economical. The second variant is the large size, export standards Mud crab which is approx. 400 to 700 grams in size and is without any broken leg or claw. However, this second variant is costly because of international demand.
