LIVE IRISH SHELLFISH

Our Live shellfish products are caught, carefully handled and stored by very
experienced fishermen, with years of experience selecting and handling live Brown Crab
and Blue Lobsters, for our many worldwide markets, and in doing so, the fishermen
ensure that any undersize Brown Crab, spawning crab and soft white shell crab are
carefully returned to the sea, allowing them to fully grow and mature into good quality
crab for selection at a later date. Our Live Brown Crab are of the highest quality, high in
protein and healthy low fat Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Our fishermen place their Pots on the
sea bed, causing no damage to the Marine Environment.

Our Vivier drivers have vast experience and are also trained to high grading and
handling standards. We have 4 fully equipped Vivier trailers, each with 20 removable
tanks, and we have our own Artic lorries, so we have complete control of our own
transport needs, from collection at boat to delivery at Vivier wholesale customers in
France, Spain, Portugal and Italy. Our transport collection is also boosted by 4 small
refrigerated trucks, collecting live shellfish from the many ports that we get supply
from. Our business has a very strong supply base, consisting of regular supply of
brown crab from two company-owned 15m Vivier boats, each capable of catching
an average of 15 tonnes per week, 2 smaller 6-10 metre Vivier boats, each capable of
landing 6/8 tonnes per week; plus additional supply from another 10/15 smaller inshore
boats based in Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Louth, Cork, Kerry, and in Northern Ireland,
Antrim and Down, from which we source live brown crab, lobster, prawns, velvet crab,
crayfish, shrimp, spider crab and winkles.
