Tiger Prawns

Fresh Tiger Prawns Online Delivery in Karachi, Lahore & Across Pakistan

Tiger Prawns, locally known as Kala Tiger (کالا ٹائیگر) and scientifically named Penaeus monodon, are among the largest and most premium prawns available in Pakistan. Celebrated for their rich, slightly sweet flavor, distinctive striped shells, and firm bite, standard Tiger Prawns are a top pick for luxury seafood dishes and gourmet grills. Sourced directly from the coastal waters of the Arabian Sea, Jojo Seafood brings ocean-fresh tiger prawns straight to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
Tiger Prawns offer a bold, sweet flavor profile with a firm, juicy, and satisfying texture. Because their dense meat naturally contains slightly more natural fats and absorbs marinades beautifully, they lock in deep, rich taste and stay succulent whether grilled, stir-fried, or steamed.
