A remarkable species
One of the largest freshwater crustaceans in gastronomy
Known internationally as the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is valued for its impressive size, firm texture and clean, subtly sweet flavour. Its generous tail, cobalt-blue claws and substantial bite make it a product that feels both refined and memorable on the plate.

Taste & texture
Firm, succulent, delicately sweet
A fuller bite than conventional shrimp. Cooked with precision, it stays tender with an almost lobster-like texture — expressive enough to stand on its own, beautiful with fire, butter, citrus, garlic and fresh herbs.
- Grilling, charcoal & plancha
- Roasting, pan-searing, pasta & risotto
- Asian, Mediterranean & chef-driven cuisine
- Whole-prawn presentation & signature dishes
Order
Reserve from the next harvest
Price depends on size and current harvest — we confirm it personally.
Freshness is the luxury
No long cold chain. No import. Just today's harvest.
Because our prawns are grown locally, they reach you live or freshly chilled — so chefs control the product from the very first moment of preparation.
Naturally nutrient-dense
Clean protein from fresh water
Rich in high-quality protein, with vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus and zinc. Very little carbohydrate — a natural fit for a balanced, protein-focused diet.
Exact values vary with size, feed, harvest stage and preparation.
Did you know
No long logistics. No freezing.
Freshness you could once only taste by the ocean. Now — here.
A naturally clean meat
Like most shrimp, the Rosenberg prawn has a very short digestive tract — unlike fish. Almost no waste builds up in the meat, which is why it tastes so clean and delicate.
Controlled fresh water
Freshwater farming lets us control water and feed quality at every stage — a particularly fresh and safe product.
Firm meat, pure taste

The centrepiece people remember
Raised in Georgia
A controlled environment, a careful hand
Stable water conditions, careful feeding and consistent handling throughout the growth cycle. The result is a local product for restaurants and clients who value provenance, freshness and traceability.
Limited harvest
Grown in small batches, following nature's rhythm
Availability is set by the natural growth cycle of each harvest. When a batch is gone, the next one takes time — reserve yours early.
