Coastal Pride’s South Carolina peeler shed operation is designed to maintain optimal conditions for soft-shell crab production through advanced aquaculture technology and rigorous environmental controls. The facility has the capacity to hold up to 46,000 live peeler crabs across four independently temperature-controlled shedding systems, allowing precise management of molting conditions throughout the year.

To support crab health and maximize shedding efficiency, the operation is equipped with robust water filtration and oxygenation systems that continuously maintain water quality and dissolved oxygen levels. Integrated UV sterilization technology further enhances biosecurity by reducing harmful pathogens and promoting a clean, controlled environment. Together, these systems enable Coastal Pride to consistently produce high-quality soft-shell crabs while supporting operational reliability, animal welfare, and product freshness.
