How We Keep Your Prawns Cold

An unbroken 0–4 °C cold chain from our Andhra ponds to our Manikonda shop — ice-chilled, never frozen. Temperature is the difference between a prawn that tastes of the sea and one that smells fishy.

Why temperature matters

Freshness & taste — prawns held cold stay firm and sweet; warmth breaks them down fast.
No fishy smell — a strong fishy or ammonia smell is a sign of a broken cold chain. Ours arrive smelling clean.
Food safety — keeping seafood at 0–4 °C slows bacterial growth, so it's safe as well as tasty.
Never frozen — freezing and thawing turns the flesh mushy and watery. We chill, we don't freeze.

Keeping them cold at home

Refrigerate at 0–4 °C as soon as you get them home.
For the best taste and texture, cook within a day of picking them up.
Need longer? Freeze them when you get home — and don't refreeze once thawed.
