Prawns (30–35 Pieces) — Juicy, Versatile & Perfect for Curry, Fry and Everyday Cooking | Fresh Delivery in Karachi
Prawns (30–35 pieces) are one of the most versatile and commonly used prawn sizes in Karachi kitchens. This size strikes the perfect balance — not too big, not too small — making it ideal for prawn curry, masala, biryani, fried rice, and desi-style gravies.
These prawns are naturally juicy with a mild sweetness and cook evenly without turning rubbery. Because of their size, they absorb spices beautifully, which is why they’re a top choice for home-style Pakistani cooking as well as Chinese and fusion recipes.
At Anbar Fish Karachi, 30–35 count prawns are freshly sourced, hygienically cleaned, and delivered chilled across Karachi, giving you clean, ready-to-cook seafood without market hassle.
