[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Homeplus announced on the 20th that from the afternoon of the 21st to the 25th, it will sell the first harvested autumn fresh flower crabs of the year at a 20% discount to My Homeplus membership members.


On the day the flower crab fishing ban is lifted, Homeplus will showcase fresh flower crabs directly shipped from production areas such as Anheung Port in Taean, Chungnam, and Gyeokpo Port in Buan, Jeonbuk, at stores nationwide except for the Jeju region. To maintain optimal freshness, the crabs are stunned in cold water below 5 degrees Celsius and then packed in sawdust similar to sand, called 'stunned flower crabs.'


The autumn male flower crab, known for its firm flesh and full meat, is a representative popular autumn delicacy that accounts for about 25% of large mart seafood sales from the time the fishing ban is lifted. Since the stunned flower crabs are sent to stores nationwide via individual vehicles without passing through logistics centers, customers can enjoy crabs caught at dawn on their dinner table the same day.



A Homeplus official said, "We have prepared reasonably priced and fresh autumn fresh flower crabs for customers tired from COVID-19 and the heatwave," adding, "We will continue efforts to provide customers with a variety of high-quality seasonal seafood in the future."
