Pete's Claws and Fins

High-Tech Ecological Seafood

About Us

Pete’s Claws and Fins is a high-tech producer of ecological seafood. We use state-of-the-art, highly computerized equipment to monitor and manage our seafood to ensure it is of the highest possible quality. All equipment we use is developed in-house by us. We are the only company operating such high-tech equipment. In 2016, our founder, Peter Persson, asked himself whether soft-shell crab production could be fully automated. After researching the industry, he found that no one had done it before, so he began sketching different ideas that eventually led to this company. Over the years, Peter has developed a growing personal interest in natural and unprocessed food, and believed he could make a difference with the help of his high-tech know-how.

Ecological production

All our seafood is ecologically produced. Our endeavor is not to use resources from wildlife. We use only farm-raised animals for our production. Our production is free from harmful chemicals that can contaminate the environment or the food products we produce. Instead, we use natural minerals and bacteria to break down our waste products into harmless, biodegradable compounds.

We recycle all organic waste we produce, and we also obtain organic waste from other farms, restaurants, and food markets. The organic waste we collect allows a particular larva from the Hermetia illucens species, known commonly as black soldier fly larva (BSFL), to feed on it and grow fatter. When the larva has developed into a pupa, it is cleaned, cooked, dried and ground to a powder used as a high-quality source of protein and lipids, perfectly suited as ecological animal feed, reducing the need for wild-sourced feed ingredients such as fishmeal, which contributes to global overfishing.

Local community engagement

It is our core belief that if you benefit the local community, the people there will add value to your business as well. At every site where we establish a manufacturing facility, our project will add value to the community as a whole. We will provide jobs for hundreds of local residents with positions available within our production, sales, administration, and management teams. We will also offer hundreds of local farmers opportunities to join our supply network, providing training, coaching, and financial support to help them adapt to a more intensive and efficient farming system. Through our research and development, practical findings that can make crab rearing more efficient will be shared with our seed crab farmers to help them produce more efficiently and produce a healthier product. One of many activities that benefit the local community is that we will arrange cleanup days where we offer students extra income for their efforts as well as courses in environmental know-how and teach them the importance of keeping the environment healthy.
