Harvested from clean, cold waters, each shrimp is individually checked and packed in a breathable, food-safe container with reusable gel ice packs.

When your box arrives, you'll notice the shiny shells and lively movement?? true sign of freshness that frozen seafood simply cannot offer.

If you're new to mantis shrimp, we recommend starting with steaming or boiling for 3-5 minutes, then using kitchen shears to snip along the sides of the shell to easily remove the meat in one piece. It's an interactive, fun dining experience, perfect for weekend family dinners or impressing guests at a seafood-themed party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a seasoned home cook or just expanding your seafood repertoire, these mantis shrimp are ideal for anyone who values authentic, preservative-free ingredients.

If you need to store them for a short time, keep them in the coldest part of your refrigerator, covered with a damp cloth, and use within 24 hours. We do not recommend freezing for raw use, as it can affect the texture; however, cooked meat can be frozen for up to a month for later use in soups or fried rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe're committed to sustainable fishing practices and transparent sourcing, so you can enjoy every bite with confidence.
