Freshwater King Prawn

Known as Giant River Prawn, Giant Freshwater King Prawn, or Scampi, the Freshwater King Prawn is celebrated for its bold, sweet flavor and firm texture. Perfect when fried in butter, chilies, garlic, ginger, and coriander, these prawns offer an unparalleled culinary experience.

As one of the largest freshwater prawns globally, the Freshwater King Prawn is widely cultivated in Bangladesh. Sea Export BD provides top-quality Head On and Head Less King Prawns, available in both block frozen and IQF formats.

Characteristics

Freshwater King Prawns have a delicate, sweet flavor similar to lobster, with firm, white flesh. They feature a bright blue tail, long legs, and antennae, and their color ranges from brownish to greenish with faint vertical stripes. These prawns typically weigh between 85 grams and 125 grams, and are primarily available from October to March.

Farm-raised scampi are meaty, moderately tender, light-colored, and have a more pronounced flavor compared to other species.
