WHERE IS MY FISH FROM?

Use our interactive map below to find out where we source our Warm Water King Prawns.

Warm water king prawns are so-called decapods, with five pairs of legs. This group includes also North Sea brown shrimps, crayfishes, lobsters, and edible crabs. 

This species originates from tropical regions such as East & South East Asia, but is commonly also produced in aquaculture. They can reach a length of up to 23 cm. The body is elongated, laterally compressed and translucent with a milky brownish coloration.

Our prawns come from aquaculture and are fed a special diet which promotes the healthy growth of the prawns.  Once the prawns have grown to our desired size, they are then harvested fresh and frozen as quickly as possible to lock in the freshness and nutrients. Prawns are a source of protein and vitamin B12. Enjoy as part of a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
