Black Tiger Shrimp - Raw
Penaeus monodon
Tiger prawns are large and flavoursome. Their majestic black striping on the back, makes for impressive presentation and they are often the choice of top hotels and restaurants. The black tiger is one of the most important cultured shrimp, but the P.vannemei is heading for this top position.Eventhough the species occurs in the ocean, we prefer to deliver it from sustainable aquacultural (Global GAP) resources.
