Premium Irish Shellfish, Sourced Responsibly
West Coast Crab Sales Limited is a leading Irish shellfish supplier, specialising in catching and distribution of premium Brown Crab and European Lobster. Based on the wild and pristine West Coast of Ireland, we serve both domestic and international markets, delivering fresh, high-quality shellfish to customers across the globe.
With over 40 years of experience in the industry, we have established a strong presence in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and mainland Europe — including France, Spain, and Portugal. In recent years, we have successfully expanded our reach into Asian markets such as China and Hong Kong, exporting live Brown Crab to meet growing international demand.
Our business has grown steadily through a combination of responsible fishing practices, superior product quality, and long-standing relationships with our valued customers. We are proud to be a family-run operation, known throughout the industry for our commitment to excellence and integrity.
Founded in 2016 by brothers Jonathan and Patrick O’Donnell, West Coast Crab Sales Ltd. was born from a shared vision to scale their fishing operations and supply the finest shellfish year-round. After years of fishing independently with smaller vessels, they invested in a larger fleet capable of operating throughout the year, forming the foundation of today’s successful business.
We now operate a modern fleet of six vessels:Michelle Na Mára, Aodh Na Mára, Sean Óg 2, Seimi, Rachel Mary, James Collins
Each vessel is staffed by highly trained crews who follow rigorous standards to ensure that all catch is handled with care and fished responsibly. This dedication to quality and sustainability ensures that our shellfish consistently delivers excellent meat content and freshness.
Our ideal location on the West Coast of Ireland gives us access to some of the most nutrient-rich waters in the world — an environment that naturally produces exceptional shellfish. This unique marine ecosystem is central to the superior flavour and texture of our Brown Crab and European Lobster.
“We pride ourselves on being able to offer top quality shellfish to all our customers.”
Whether you’re a wholesale buyer, seafood distributor, or hospitality provider, West Coast Crab Sales Ltd. is your trusted partner for world-class shellfish, delivered with care and expertise.
