Why Are South African Prawns Frozen?

Almost all prawns available in South Africa are frozen because they are imported from countries such as Mozambique, Argentina, and India, then frozen at peak freshness to lock in flavour, texture, and quality.

This is the industry standard, and it means the frozen prawns you order from Shami Seafood are the same quality trusted by restaurants, caterers, and home cooks across Cape Town. Don't let "frozen" fool you — quality frozen prawns are a premium seafood staple when sourced properly.
