Flower Prawns (30–35 Pieces) — Large, Juicy & Perfect for Frying, Grill, Karahi & Continental Recipes
Flower Prawns are one of the most premium prawn varieties available in Karachi — known for their large size, juicy meat, natural sweetness, and rich seafood flavor. With 30–35 pieces per kg, these prawns fall into the large category, making them ideal for recipes that need fuller, meatier bites.
Their texture stays firm while cooking, yet turns buttery-soft inside, making them excellent for golden fry, garlic butter prawns, BBQ skewers, spicy karahi, creamy pastas, noodles, and crunchy tempura. Flower prawns are especially popular in restaurants because they hold their shape beautifully and taste great with both desi and continental seasoning.
At Anbar Fish, every prawn is cleaned, deveined, washed, and delivered chilled, ensuring absolute freshness and convenience.
