The Tomahawk Steak of the Sea

Meet the African Tiger Prawn (U4)—one of the largest denominations sold commercially. Wild-caught off the coast of Africa, these massive prawns weigh 5–6 oz each, offering a monumental seafood experience that rivals the finest cuts of beef. Often called the "Tomahawk steak of the sea," they are a show-stopping centerpiece for any dinner table.

Buttery Texture & Lobster-Like Flavor

Unlike standard shrimp, African Tiger Prawns deliver a rich, buttery texture and a sweet, succulent flavor profile that many customers compare to lobster. Whether you are grilling them alongside a steak, sautéing them with garlic butter, or serving them chilled as a premium shrimp cocktail, their firmness and depth of flavor make them ideal for creative, chef-quality cooking.
