Giant Tiger Prawns, locally known as Kala Tiger (کالا ٹائگر) and scientifically named Penaeus monodon, are the largest, most prestigious prawns available in the seafood market. Celebrated for their massive size, thick meat, and exceptional taste, U8 Tiger Prawns are a favorite among gourmet chefs and upscale seafood enthusiasts. Sourced directly from the warm coastal waters of the Arabian Sea, Jojo Seafood brings world-class, ocean-fresh giant prawns straight to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
Giant Tiger Prawns offer a mildly sweet yet briny flavor profile with a firm, dense, and meaty texture. Because their thick flesh holds marinades, butter, garlic, and citrus sauces exceptionally well without losing moisture, they are ideal for high-heat cooking and grilling.
