Stone Crab
Also known as: Jaiba, Chilean Stone Crab

Product Overview
Our southern fleet harvests the crab where they are kept in boat's fish pond with ocean water and plenty of fresh air to keep them alive until they reach the shore. At the dock they are unloaded in trays and transported to the plant in insulated trucks.
Once at the plant, the quality control team inspect the harvest to make sure they fulfill the HACCP norms and minimum size standards. The best of the catch is then placed in plastic bins and processed immediately. Frozen crab meat products are glazed to protect from dehydration. At Isla del Rey we use compensative glazing which means products are weighed before glazing so the customer pays for the real weight.

Origin
This delicious crab is found throughout the Chilean coastline. The female Stone Crab is indefinantly protected from harvest by order of the Chilean Fishing Authority, SERNAPESCA
