Nicaragua
In 2014, Heron Point Seafood opened up the very first crab meat processing plant in Nicaragua. This undertaking took tremendous collaboration with the various Nicaraguan fishing communities, creating and defining standards for crab processing and exporting. Heron Point successfully worked with the government to establish regulations to ensure the sustainability of the fishery.
A unique ecosystem, similar to that found in the Chesapeake Bay, offers the perfect breeding ground for the prized Callinectes sapidus (blue swimmer crab).
Today, Heron Point produces its mouth-watering Nicaraguan blue swimmer crab under the Caribbean Blue label. Slightly sweeter in flavor with the same desirable blue crab bite.
