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 fresh 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 12 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. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE AMAEBI TO BE LIVE ON RECEIPT. HOWEVER, AMAEBI ARE GUARANTEED TO BE SAFE FOR RAW CONSUMPTION ON RECEIPT.

Truly Fantastic March 24, 2010
Reviewer: Michael from New York, NY United States  
I always chyeck to see if they have sweet shrimp and this was the first time that I saw them in stock.  I just finished my meal which consisted of amaebi nigri (raw shrimp tails),Deep Fried shrimp heads, and Deep Fried whole sweet shrimp.  Everything was fantastic.  The amaebi nigri has a nice mellow sweet flavor and the shrimp were very tender.  I have never ordered sweet shrimp in the sushi restaurant because I figured they were just shrimp;  Boy was I wrong.  The shrimp heads were delicious, very similar to soft shell crabs, although much tastier.  The deep fried shrimp really did taste more like lobster then shrimp.  I agree with all other reviews, when these are in stock, get them.  A+++++++

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!
