Fresh vs frozen prawns — the honest difference
Most "fresh" seafood sold online is frozen and thawed. Both have their place — here's the straight story so you can choose well, and where ShrimpLi stands.
Frozen
- ✓ Long shelf life — handy for planning ahead
- ✓ Available any time, in bulk
- ! Softer texture & some flavour loss after thawing
- ! Often glazed or phosphate-soaked (STPP) to add water weight
- ! "Fresh" online is frequently just thawed frozen
The ShrimpLi promise
- Fresh-first, never frozen. Pond-direct from our own Andhra ponds, on an unbroken 0–4 °C cold chain to our Manikonda counter.
- No chemical glaze. No sulphites, no STPP — we never soak prawns to fake weight or mask age.
- Clear labelling. You always know the species, size/count and cut. No "fresh" sticker on thawed stock.
- Freshness guarantee. Not fresh when you collect it? Full refund, every rupee.
