Prawn Sizing & Counts (U-5, U-10, U-15)
Prawns are sold by size count per kg. The "U" count indicates how many pieces make up one kilogram. For example, U-10 Jumbo Prawns contain under 10 pieces per kg, while medium and small counts vary from 40 to 120 pieces. We ensure you receive the exact count and grade you pay for, with honest weight measurements.

Nutrition & Health Benefits of Prawns
Prawns are an excellent source of high-quality lean protein and are low in calories and fat. A 100g serving of prawns provides approximately 24g of protein, just 0.3g of fat, and is packed with essential nutrients including selenium, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and astaxanthin (a powerful antioxidant that gives prawns their red colour). Prawns are also one of the best dietary sources of iodine, which supports healthy thyroid function. Sourced fresh from the Arabian Sea, they are a staple for healthy and delicious meals.
Frequently Asked Questions

PnD stands for Peeled and Deveined. The shell is removed and the digestive vein is cleaned out, so the prawns are ready to cook immediately without any preparation.
All prawns are wild-caught from the Arabian Sea and sourced daily from Karachi Fish Harbour. They are transported in temperature-controlled cold-chain boxes and vacuum-sealed immediately. We never sell frozen, glazed, or chemically treated prawns.

King Prawns and Jumbo Prawns are the best choices for tempura, butterfly prawns, and grilling because of their large size and firm texture. For daily curries or fried rice, medium and small prawns are perfect.
