Seafood from Scotland has the highest of reputations around the world, praised for its high quality, provenance, sustainability and not forgetting its amazing taste.
AM Shellfish supply live shellfish including;
Brown Crab, Cockles, Lobster, Prawns, Razor Clams, Scallops, Velvet Crab and Winkles.
Situated in Aberdeen, AM Shellfish are specialists in the supply and export of superior quality shellfish caught off the east & west coast of Scotland.
Our catch lands on Sunday or Monday departing on Monday night heading south to catch a ferry headed for Spain ready to be sold on Thursday.
The shellfish is transported in our specially designed refrigerated Vivier lorry to provide the shellfish with conditions very similar to their natural habitat. Our lorry has built in tanks which are filled with seawater and are all fitted out with donkey engines, pumps and electric motors which keep a steady flow of oxygen into the water keeping the shellfish alive while on route to the market.
The broad term ‘shellfish’ covers crustacean and mollusc seafood, which includes clams, crab, lobsters and langoustines. Shellfish offer a real taste of the ocean and are bursting with flavour. They are surprisingly simple to prepare and cook.
At AM Shellfish we source our fish and shellfish locally, delivering across the UK to bring you some of the best and freshest shellfish possible.
Products like brown crab, lobster and prawns are all hand caught by creel and not by trawler. This is a much more environmentally friendly method of catching shellfish as the process doesn’t disturb the seabed, keeping the natural balance in situ.
