Harvested from the icy, pristine waters of the Barents Sea, Murmansk Shrimp are prized for their clean flavor, firm texture, and natural sweetness. Caught in Arctic conditions where cold temperatures slow growth, these shrimp develop superior meat quality compared to warm-water varieties. To preserve peak freshness, flavor, and nutritional value, the shrimp are fully cooked and flash-frozen shortly after harvest. This method locks in their delicate texture and ocean-fresh taste, making them a convenient and reliable premium seafood option year-round.
