What makes a good tiger prawn?

Three things separate restaurant-grade tiger prawns from ordinary ones: size, handling, and freshness. A premium prawn is large and consistent in size, has a firm — not mushy — texture, and smells clean like the sea rather than fishy or ammonia-like.

Fillet tiger prawns are wild-caught (not farmed), size 20–30 pcs/kg, flash-frozen at peak freshness and vacuum-packed in 500g portions with no additives or preservatives. That is why our prawns hold their shape on the grill and stay sweet and firm instead of turning rubbery.

How much do tiger prawns cost in Bali?

Our wild-caught tiger prawns are IDR 175,000 per 500g (size 20–30 pcs/kg), delivered. Pricing depends on size and season — larger grades cost more. For restaurants and villas, B2B and wholesale pricing is available on request.

Wild-caught vs farmed prawns: what’s the difference?

• Wild-caught tiger prawns — from open tropical waters, naturally sweet, firm texture, no additives. This is what we supply.
• Farmed prawns — raised in ponds, often softer in texture and milder in flavour, quality depends heavily on the farm and feed.

For grilling, BBQ and premium plating, wild-caught prawns give the firmest bite and the cleanest flavour.

How to cook tiger prawns

1. Grill — high heat, 2–3 minutes per side with garlic butter, until the shells turn bright and the flesh is opaque.
2. Pan-sear — for pasta, stir-fries and paella.
3. Thaw properly — cook from frozen for best texture, or thaw overnight in the refrigerator, never in warm water.

Do not overcook — prawns are done the moment they curl into a loose C and turn opaque. Overcooked prawns tighten into a hard O and turn rubbery.
