High-quality black tiger shrimps from a responsible source, raised in the traditional manner and in harmony with nature – that is our idea and understanding of sustainable farming. Not far from the world's largest mangrove forest, our black tiger shrimps grow in their natural habitat. Here, in the south-western regions of Bangladesh, Paikgacha and Debhata, we work with around 1,400 small farmers to turn our idea into a reality. Due to the low stocking density of one to two shrimps per square meter, the shrimps can cover their food requirements directly from the existing ecosystem. Known as extensive aquaculture, there is no need to add feed or medication.

Defrosting and storage

Remove the desired amount from the bag and briefly remove the protective glaze under cold running water.

Then defrost the prawns in the fridge.

Do not let the shrimps get in contact with other food.

Carefully collect and dispose of the dripping juice.

Clean dishes and hands carefully.

They are ready for consumption.

Do not refreeze after defrosting.
