Cold Water Shrimp

Wild Coldwater shrimp (Pandalus borealis) live at depths of 200 to 500 meters in icy cold and unpolluted waters of the Arctic and Northern Atlantic Oceans. These shrimp grow very slowly and live for more than 8 years. They live on and near the ocean floor, feeding primarily on zooplankton. A large supply of small shrimp that is cooked and peeled is available throughout the year. Larger Coldwater shrimp have a better, sweeter flavour than smaller sizes and are worth the additional cost, according to some buyers. Coldwater shrimp meat is increasingly being sold fresh and most fresh meat is ungraded. Products are available in both fresh and frozen forms are Cooked & Peeled, Head-on, Tails (P&D), Tails (PUD), Whole. Sizes, Packing and Freezing methods of products can vary to meet customer demands.
