Description
 
These sweet shrimp (amaebi) are caught off the San Diego coast in traps. We store them in our live tanks and carefully package them to ensure that they arrive live at your door. The delicious tails are eaten raw in sushi bars. The heads are deep fried to make them crunchy and eaten whole. Amaebi come in mixed sizes so that there are up to 15 shrimp per pound.

Our fresh and live seafood products are as fresh as you can get because we purchase directly from reputable fishermen in California and Baja California who take great pride in providing the highest quality seafood. The seafood is caught and immediately iced or brought to our live tanks until you order. We package it with care, keep it cold in insulated boxes and ship it overnight with FedEx so that it reaches your door fresher than the vast majority of most supermarkets and restaurants.

Awesome May 20, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Denver, CO United States  
Prawns were nicely packaged.  I saw most were still moving their legs by the time I unwrapped them from their packaging.  The prawns are also about 2-3x the size of amaebi shrimp you would get at a sushi restaurant.

Too good... May 16, 2008
Reviewer: Hiro from Duluth, GA United States  
I placed an order, got a call from Catalina saying it was out of stock.  But, they were nice enough to get it for me the next day so I waited another extra day.

Very well worth it!!!

The size is great, no yucky shrimpy smell, very very very FRESH.

Gotta try it!

Amaebi May 10, 2008
Reviewer: John Iwaszkiewicz from Lone Tree, CO United States  
The shrimp were outstanding, however, I am used to the much smaller size, about three pcs to one piece of suhshi  These were one to a sushi

I LOVE these! April 3, 2008
Reviewer: JO from Georgia United States  
I order them everytime they are available.  They're addicting and I love eating them fried, as I feel it brings out the flavors all the more.  The large ones are female and are often filled with roe.  Can't say enough about these!

Far Beyond Expectations-Unique Gourmet Experience March 1, 2007
Reviewer: Nami Nielipinski from Dearborn Heights, MI United States  
Live shrimp arrived at my door still moving - Impressive looking - huge & gorgeous.
- Tastes like Lobster if cooked -
My husband who doesn't do raw fish ate the fried tail in shell - said they tasted just like lobster but better because the presentation was more impressive, with the curled up tail looking so exotic & nothing like we've seen before.
- Ever had shrimp rows? -
There were about 8 shrimps, half of them female (very big & with row) and the other half male (smaller).  1st time for me. Very smooth, crisp & not fishy taste at all.
-Raw-
Raw tail meat & fried heads were just wonderful, too. If I could I'd definitely give thsi 7 starts. :-)
