Hanuman Seafood is Thailand's certified frozen shrimp supplier, exporting Vannamei (Whiteleg) and Black Tiger shrimp to importers, distributors, and retailers in 50+ countries. Buyers frequently ask about vannamei prawns vs tiger prawn — understanding the differences is essential for matching species to market, application, and price point. Vannamei (Penaeus vannamei, whiteleg shrimp) is the world's most farmed shrimp, accounting for over 70% of global shrimp aquaculture production. Black Tiger (Penaeus monodon, tiger prawn) is the premium large-bodied alternative commanding higher per-kg pricing in Japan, the EU, and the GCC. Both species are available from Hanuman Seafood in all commercial presentations with full certification.
Understanding vannamei prawns vs tiger prawn is the first decision every shrimp importer must make. Here is the side-by-side comparison: (1) Species & origin — Vannamei (Penaeus vannamei, whiteleg): originated in Pacific coast of Americas, now dominant in Asian aquaculture (Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Ecuador). Tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon, black tiger): native to Indo-Pacific, farmed and wild-caught in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and India. (2) Size range — Vannamei: most commercially farmed at 21/25 to 71/90 count (typically 7–25g per piece). Tiger prawn: farmed at U/8 to 26/30 count (typically 30–100g+ per piece) — significantly larger. (3) Flavor & texture — Vannamei: mild, sweet flavor, firm and bouncy texture, holds well in cooking. Tiger prawn: richer, more pronounced seafood flavor, firmer flesh, preferred for premium presentation (whole, head-on grilled or steamed). (4) Price — Vannamei is significantly cheaper per kg ($3–$7/kg FOB for 21/25 frozen PD) due to high aquaculture productivity. Tiger prawn commands premium ($8–$20/kg FOB depending on size, peeled form) — typically 2–4× the price of same-size vannamei. (5) Market preference — Vannamei: USA, EU (supermarket retail and foodservice), China, ASEAN. Tiger prawn: Japan (sushi, tempura, nobashi), premium EU and Australian seafood restaurants, GCC hotel buffets. (6) Certifications — Both available ASC, BAP, HACCP, BRC, FDA, EU, and Halal certified from Hanuman Seafood. For commodity volume buyers: vannamei is the clear choice. For premium-price market positioning: tiger prawn offers margin advantage.
Whether you are stocking supermarket shelves, running a restaurant supply chain, or processing frozen shrimp into value-added products, we have the right size, form, and certification for your market. Retail buyers prefer IQF poly bags (1 lb, 2 lb, 5 lb) in 21/25 or 31/40 counts for vannamei. Foodservice buyers typically order 10 kg foodservice boxes or 5 lb blocks. Industrial processors order bulk cartons. Premium markets (Japan, high-end EU) favor whole tiger prawn HOSO in individual Japanese retail packs. Our frozen shrimp supplier team will match the specification to your channel and provide a market-specific cost breakdown.
We hold ASC, BAP, BRC, HACCP, EU Reg 853/2004, FDA registration, and Halal certification — covering every major import market. All vannamei shrimp is antibiotic-free and tested against EU and US maximum residue limits. Our processing facilities operate continuous cold chains at -18°C from receipt of raw material to container stuffing. On-time shipment rate exceeds 97% across our last 500 container orders.
Size count accuracy, glazing percentage, and net weight compliance are the most common quality disputes in frozen shrimp trade. As a transparent frozen shrimp supplier, we specify glazing (typically 10–15% for IQF, 0% for net-weight packs) in every proforma invoice, perform net weight verification at the packing line, and provide independent SGS or Bureau Veritas pre-shipment inspection on request. Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering microbiological and chemical testing.
