🦐 Frozen Shrimp vs Fresh Shrimp

In global seafood trade, shrimp is one of the most demanded products. But for importers, the big question remains — frozen or fresh?

At North East Trade Wings, a trusted seafood supplier from India, we’ve seen why frozen shrimp is the smarter choice for international buyers.

Modern IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology keeps shrimp fresh, firm, and flavorful for up to 18 months. It ensures stable quality, easier shipping, and zero wastage — essential for importers managing global logistics. Frozen shrimp also offers more options like HOSO, HLSO, P&D, and Cooked shrimp, making it versatile for every market.

Fresh shrimp, while premium, has a short shelf life and high transport risks. It suits local markets or short-distance trade but rarely works for long-distance imports due to spoilage and cost.

For global importers, frozen shrimp offers reliability, quality, and year-round supply. It’s the clear winner for those who value consistency and long-term profitability.

At North East Trade Wings, we export Vannamei, Black Tiger, and Sea-caught shrimp varieties from certified Indian farms and processing plants, maintaining strict hygiene and cold-chain control for every shipment.

When it comes to shrimp imports — frozen delivers the best balance of freshness, safety, and success.
