John Keeler & Co., Inc.
John Keeler & Co., Inc. was established in 1995 by president and CEO John Keeler. John Keeler & Co. is crabby but not in the way you're thinking. In fact, Mr. Keeler and his company, which does business as Blue Star Food Products, are more than happy to import blue swimming crabs from the South China Sea (in the waters around southeastern China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Borneo, and Vietnam) and sell them to customers in the US. The Miami-based company processes the crabs and offers crabmeat in cans or resealable pouches or as value-added prepared products such as crabcakes, to foodservice vendors throughout the US. Its brands include Blue Star and Oceanica.
