Blue Swimming Crab Processing - 01
Its easy to assume that all modern canned food products are made using automatic machinery. When it comes to processing the Blue Swimming Crab, however, this is certainly not the case. The removal of the shell and preparation of the crab meat prior to canning is a job that can only be performed satisfactorily by human hand. For a large scale operation, this requires many hands to do the job, but the people of Sri Lanka are well used to processing crab in this manner, and their meticulous attention to detail means that only the finest quality crab meat ends up in cans destined for the international export market.

Blue Swimming Crab Processing - 02
When preparing the crab meat for processing and canning, great attention is given to hygiene and total cleanliness. To see a line of women preparing the crab meat reminds the viewer of an operating theatre in a modern hospital. All the women wear spotlessly clean overalls, hair-covers, face masks and gloves, to ensure that the final product passes all quality control tests before being shipped for the international crab-meat export market.

The Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus Pelagicus), also known as the flower crab, blue crab, blue swimmer crab, blue manna crab or sand crab, is a large crab found in the intertidal estuaries and Asian coasts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and along the Middle-Eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The crabs are also widely distributed in eastern Africa, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The males are a bright blue in colour with white spots and with characteristically long arms and legs (chelipeds), while the females have a more rounded but duller greenish brown body (carapace). The body of both male and femal crabs can be up to 20 centimetres (7.9 inches) wide. The flesh from the body and claws is especially sweet, and is a delicacy that is highly prized throughout the world. Taprobane Seafoods (Pvt) Ltd., a modern seafood processing factory near Negombo, Sri Lanka, buys Blue Swimming Crab from local fishermen all around the coasts of Sri Lanka. The crabs are speedily transported to the factory for grading, processing and canning, before being shipped to the USA and other countries.
