About Us
Bangladesh’s Coast, Packed for the World
Seafood Packer Bangladesh is built around one thing we do better than almost anyone: getting Live Mud Crab (Scylla serrata) and Soft Shell Crab from the mangrove coast to your table, alive, fresh, and export-ready — alongside a full line of shrimp and seafood products.
Rooted in the Mangrove Coast
Bangladesh sits alongside the Sundarbans — the largest contiguous mangrove forest in the world — where tidal rivers, brackish estuaries, and mudflats form one of the richest crab habitats on the planet. That coastline is where our story begins: sourcing directly from the fishers and farmers who know these waters best.
What started as local sourcing of mud crab and shrimp has grown into a full export operation, built around live-crab handling, soft-shell processing, and cold-chain logistics designed for one purpose — delivering seafood that reaches international buyers in the condition it left the water.
Our soft shell crab is farmed at our own facility in Satkhira, a coastal district on the edge of the Sundarbans known for its shrimp and crab farming heritage. Farming the molt cycle ourselves — rather than sourcing soft shell crab opportunistically from open water — lets us control timing, hygiene, and consistency from the moment a crab enters its shedding cage to the moment it’s flash-frozen.
We are not a generalist seafood trading house. Our operation is deliberately built around a narrow specialty — live and soft-shell crab — supported by a broader shrimp and finfish export line, so every part of our process is tuned to the product that defines us.
What We Do Better Than Anyone
Two products sit at the center of everything we do. Both demand precision, speed, and a deep understanding of live animal handling — which is exactly why most exporters avoid them, and exactly why we built our business around them.
Live Mud Crab
Scylla serrataAlso known as the mangrove crab, black crab, or mangrove mud crab, Scylla serrata is one of the largest and most prized crab species in the Indo-Pacific — thriving in the brackish mangrove estuaries and mudflats along the Bangladesh coastline.
Mud crab is sold almost exclusively live, because its meat quality, texture, and market value depend on the animal arriving at its destination in the same condition it was harvested. That makes every stage — capture, holding, tying, boxing, and transport — a race against time and temperature.
- Sourced from mangrove estuaries and tidal mudflats
- Held in aerated, temperature-controlled tanks before export
- Graded by weight, sex, and meat/fat fullness
- Individually tied and packed for live air-freight export
- Popular across East Asian and Southeast Asian live-seafood markets
Soft Shell Crab
Farmed in Satkhira, on the edge of the SundarbansSoft shell crab isn’t a separate species — it’s a crab harvested in the short window right after it molts, shedding its old shell to grow a new, larger one. For a matter of hours, the entire crab — shell included — is soft enough to eat whole.
We farm this process ourselves at our facility in Satkhira, a coastal district long known for its shrimp and crab farming ponds (gher), just north of the Sundarbans mangrove belt. Crabs are held individually through their molting cycle, monitored closely, and harvested within hours of shedding — before the new shell begins to harden.
- Farmed in-house at our Satkhira soft shell crab facility
- Individual molting cages for controlled, hygienic harvesting
- Harvested at peak post-molt softness, then IQF flash-frozen
- Cleaned, gill- and apron-trimmed, and graded by size
- Whole-body product — no shell to crack or pick
- A favorite for sushi, tempura, sliders, and pan-fried dishes
A Full Seafood Export Line
Crab is our specialty, but our sourcing network and cold-chain infrastructure support a much wider catalog — built on the same coastal waters and the same handling standards.
Black Tiger Shrimp
Penaeus monodon — large, firm-textured shrimp farmed in Bangladesh’s coastal ghers, prized for its size and shell color.
Vannamei Shrimp
Litopenaeus vannamei — fast-growing whiteleg shrimp, a global export staple valued for consistency and yield.
Frozen Fish
Whole round and filleted finfish from coastal and freshwater catch, IQF frozen and graded by size.
Mixed Shellfish
Squid, other crab varieties, and seasonal shellfish sourced alongside our core crab and shrimp lines.
From Mudflat to Manifest
Live seafood exporting leaves no room for delay. Every shipment follows the same disciplined sequence, whether it’s a box of live mud crab or a pallet of frozen shrimp.
Farm & Coastal Sourcing
Soft shell crab farmed in-house at our Satkhira facility; mud crab, shrimp, and fish sourced from mangrove-belt fishers and gher farmers.
Live Holding & Grading
Aerated holding tanks and grading by weight, species, and quality before processing.
Pack & Freeze
Live-tie packing for crab, or IQF flash-freezing for shrimp, fish, and soft shell crab.
Cold-Chain Export
Temperature-controlled logistics from our facility to air and sea freight, tracked door to port.
Built for Buyers Who Can’t Afford Mistakes
Sourced at the Source
Soft shell crab farmed in-house in Satkhira, plus direct relationships with mangrove-coast fishers and shrimp farmers — shorter chains, fresher product, full traceability back to the water.
Built for Speed
Live crab and soft shell crab are time-sensitive by nature — our holding, grading, and packing process is designed around minutes, not days.
Unbroken Cold Chain
From holding tank to IQF freezer to export carton, temperature control follows the product at every single step.
Specialist, Not Generalist
We built our operation around crab first. Everything else we export meets the same standard we hold our flagship product to.
Flexible Order Sizes
From trial orders to recurring bulk shipments, we scale packing formats to fit distributors, restaurants, and importers alike.
Direct Communication
You deal directly with our export team over email and WhatsApp — no layers of brokers between you and your shipment.
