Shell-on prawns
Fresh, delicious - directly from nature's own freezer!
Greenlandic prawns are among the most delicate in the world, as the icy water causes the prawn to grow slowly, giving it plenty of time to develop flavour and a delicious crispy texture.
At Royal Greenland you will find a wide range of Greenlandic shell-on prawns in several different sizes.
Prawn fishing in Greenland
Royal Greenland's shell-on prawns are caught by our own trawlers off the coast of Greenland. The large trawlers are actually state-of-the-art floating factories that catch, sort, cook, freeze and pack the prawns on board. This ensures a fresh product where the good quality is preserved in the best possible way. When the large trawlers haul in the net, the prawns are rinsed and sorted, after which they are cooked for a few minutes. The prawns are then packed and frozen and stored in the ship's large freezer room. In real terms, it only takes a few hours from catch to freezing the finished product. This ensures a very fresh and high-quality product.
The Greenlandic prawn fishery is well regulated through quotas, and Royal Greenland's trawlers are equipped with by-catch separators and escape panels to minimise by-catch in accordance with Greenlandic legislation.
