They are also commonly used in sushi and sashimi in Japan. Flower crabs are typically caught using crab traps or nets, and are often sold live or freshly cooked in seafood markets and restaurants. They are also farmed in some countries, including Singapore and Indonesia, to meet the high demand for their meat. It's worth noting that flower crabs are sometimes confused with the closely related blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), which is found along the Atlantic coast of North America. While the two species look similar, they have some differences in anatomy and habitat

Green Mud Crab

The green mud crab (Scylla serrata) is a species of crab found in the Indo-Pacific region, including the coasts of Southeast Asia, Australia, and the western Pacific Ocean. It is a highly valued seafood in many countries, especially in Southeast Asia, where it is often used in dishes such as chili crab, black pepper crab, and butter crab. Green mud crabs are large, with a carapace width of up to 25 cm (10 in) and a weight of up to 2 kg (4.4 lb). They have a dark green or brownish shell, with distinctive, pointed spines on the front of the carapace. They are typically found in mangrove swamps, estuaries, and other shallow, muddy habitats. Green mud crabs are caught using a variety of methods, including crab traps, nets, and hand gathering. They are often sold live in seafood markets and restaurants, or cooked and served in a variety of dishes. In recent years, green mud crab aquaculture has become increasingly popular in many countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Farm-raised crabs are typically grown in ponds or tanks and fed a diet of pellets and other feed. Aquaculture has the potential to help meet the high demand for green mud crabs while reducing pressure on wild populations.

Orange Mud Crab

The orange mud crab (Scylla olivacea) is a species of crab found in the Indo-Pacific region, including the coasts of Southeast Asia, Australia, and the western Pacific Ocean. It is closely related to the green mud crab (Scylla serrata) and is similarly highly valued as a seafood in many countries, particularly in Southeast Asia. Orange mud crabs are typically smaller than green mud crabs, with a carapace width of up to 20 cm (8 in) and a weight of up to 1 kg (2.2 lb). They have an orange-brown shell, with rounded spines on the front of the carapace. They are found in a variety of habitats, including mangrove swamps, estuaries, and rocky shores. Like green mud crabs, orange mud crabs are caught using a variety of methods, including crab traps, nets, and hand gathering. They are often sold live in seafood markets and restaurants, or cooked and served in a variety of dishes. In recent years, orange mud crab aquaculture has also become increasingly popular in many countries, particularly in Southeast Asia. Farm-raised crabs are typically grown in ponds or tanks and fed a diet of pellets and other feed. Aquaculture has the potential to help meet the high demand for orange mud crabs while reducing pressure on wild populations.

Crayfish

Crayfish, also known as freshwater lobsters, are a type of freshwater crustacean that are found in rivers, streams, and other freshwater bodies around the world. They are similar to lobsters in appearance, with a hard exoskeleton, two large claws, and a long tail. Crayfish are prized as a food source in many regions, particularly in North America and Europe, where they are often boiled or grilled and served with butter or other sauces. They are also used in a variety of dishes, such as gumbo and étouffée, in Cajun and Creole cuisine. Crayfish are typically caught using traps or nets, and are often sold live or freshly cooked in seafood markets and restaurants. They are also farmed in some regions, particularly in Asia, where they are raised in ponds and fed a diet of pellets and other feed. It's worth noting that some species of crayfish, particularly those that have been introduced to new regions, can have negative ecological impacts, such as outcompeting native species or damaging aquatic habitats. As a result, some regions have regulations on the capture and sale of crayfish, and some species are considered invasive in certain areas.

Scalloped Spiny Lobster / Flower Spiny Lobster

The scalloped spiny lobster and the flower spiny lobster are two different species of lobsters that belong to the family Palinuridae. The scalloped spiny lobster, also known as the Caribbean spiny lobster, is found in the western Atlantic Ocean, from Brazil to North Carolina. It is a popular seafood item and is often caught by fishermen for commercial purposes. The scalloped spiny lobster is named for the scalloped pattern on its carapace (the hard, protective shell covering the lobster's body). The flower spiny lobster, also known as the painted spiny lobster, is found in the western Pacific Ocean, from Japan to Australia. It is also a popular seafood item and is often caught for commercial purposes. The flower spiny lobster is named for its striking coloration, which includes bright reds and blues, and its distinctive spiny antennae that resemble flowers. Both species of spiny lobsters are similar in appearance and have spiny shells and long antennae. However, they have different geographic distributions and coloration patterns, and are generally considered to be separate species.

Prawn - Vannamei

Vannamei prawns, also known as white leg shrimp, are a species of shrimp that are widely farmed for food. They are native to the eastern Pacific Ocean, but are now farmed in many countries, including Thailand, India, Indonesia, and Ecuador. Vannamei prawns are typically raised in ponds or tanks, and are fed a diet of commercial feed that contains fishmeal, soybean meal, and other ingredients. They grow quickly and can reach maturity in less than six months. Vannamei prawns are highly valued for their mild, sweet flavor and firm, tender texture. They are versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as grilling, sautéing, or frying. They are also a good source of protein and other nutrients, and are considered a healthy food choice.

Prawns – Tiger

Tiger prawns are a species of large shrimp that are widely consumed around the world. They are native to the Indo-Pacific region and are farmed in many countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, China, and India. Tiger prawns are typically larger than other species of shrimp, and have distinctive black stripes on their shells, which give them their name. They are often sold both fresh and frozen, and can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as grilling, sautéing, or boiling. Tiger prawns are highly valued for their sweet, succulent meat and firm texture. They are a good source of protein and other nutrients, and are considered a healthy food choice. However, they are also high in cholesterol, so they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Fresh Water Prawn

Freshwater prawns, also known as freshwater shrimp, are a type of crustacean that live in freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, and ponds. One species of freshwater prawn is Macrobrachium malcolmsoni, which is found in the rivers and streams of India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Macrobrachium malcolmsoni is a relatively large species of freshwater prawn that can reach up to 20 centimeters in length. They have a greenish-brown shell and distinctive long claws, which they use for defense and catching food. Freshwater prawns like Macrobrachium malcolmsoni are often farmed for food. They are typically raised in ponds or tanks and fed a diet of commercial feed that includes plant and animal proteins. They have a sweet, delicate flavor and firm texture, and can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as grilling, sautéing, or boiling. Freshwater prawns are a good source of protein and other nutrients, and can be a healthy food choice when consumed as part of a balanced diet. However, like other types of shellfish, they may contain high levels of cholesterol, so they should be consumed in moderation.
