Shrimp, crayfish and surimi

Shrimp and crayfish belong to the crustacean family and are classified by size. Both can live at great depths but also amongst the rocks or along the beaches, in arctic or tropical areas, and either in the sea or in freshwater.

The Louisiana crayfish (Aragostella in Italian), is a freshwater species, found in the marshes and rivers of the United States. Due to its delicate flavour, it is also raised in the fish farms of many countries and today it is considered the most widespread river crayfish in the world.

Surimi are cylinders of fish paste consisting mainly of cod, prepared widely for the past few centuries in Japan and today exported worldwide. Smeralda selects and offers top quality Shrimp, Crayfish and Surimi in brine, all available in practical trays.
