Description
Patagonian king crab whole IQF · story and datasheet
The Patagonian king crab is the emblematic product of the Chilean Patagonian sea and one of the most valued species in the South Pacific.
Captured in cold and deep waters of the Aysén Region, at latitudes above 45° South, it develops firm, juicy meat with a naturally sweet flavour thanks to its slow growth in low-temperature ecosystems.
Individually frozen using IQF technology immediately after capture, it preserves its organoleptic and nutritional properties in their entirety, becoming a premium reference for chefs, distributors and high-standard international markets.
- Flagship product of the Chilean Patagonian sea with high international valuation.
- Selective artisanal catch that protects size, quality and species integrity.
- IQF freezing that preserves flavour, texture and nutritional value.
