Experts in processing and distributing top-quality crawfish products since 1987

Based in Seville, Spain, Alfocan is Europe’s leading processor and wholesaler of wild-caught freshwater crawfish – known as crawfish in Europe, primarily of the species Procambarus clarkii. These crawfish are sustainably harvested using traditional methods from the lakes and rice paddies of Southern Spain, much like the techniques used in the swamps of Louisiana.

We provide the finest crawfish, offering both fresh and frozen options, paired with the personalized care of our expert team, dedicated to bringing the authentic taste of crawfish to the U.S. market.

Our crawfish are raised in natural, wild environments, sustainably fished, fresh, and delicious. The unparalleled quality of our crawfish is evident in its exceptional flavor and tender, succulent meat – a perfect addition to your next boil, seafood feast, or family gathering.

Nº1 producer and exporter from Spain

The company’s production center near Seville (Isla Mayor, Andalusia) has an annual production capacity of over 2,000 metric tonnes and its crawfish processing lines are equipped with state-of the art technology.

Alfocan exports most of its crawfish to Europe (i.e., France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, the United Kingdom) and the United States.

Quality and sustainability

We believe that if a business is dedicated to wild-caught resources, its commitment to sustainability is a moral obligation and a corporate responsibility.

Thanks to this conviction, Alfocan holds the ISO 14001 certificate since 1999 and further decided to spearhead a crawfish Fishery Improvement Project together with the NGO Sustainable Fisheries Partnership.

Certificates

The implementation of our crawfish FIP may lead to a future Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification. Through its worldwide recognized certification, the MSC promotes sustainable fishing and its label guarantees a complete traceability of the product from its origin to the sales point.

For the development of our project, we count with the collaboration and support of the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), the renowned NGO that works with the world’s largest producers and buyers in order to improve fishery management around the globe.
