Our Frozen Poovalan/ Karikadi PUD  — Poovalan and Karikadi shrimp, peeled and un-deveined (PUD), regionally cherished Kerala backwater catch species — is proudly sourced and processed under India’s MPEDA-regulated export framework. This product is engineered for consistent quality, full traceability, and culinary versatility, whether you are a retail distributor, a foodservice operator, or a specialty seafood importer.

Origin & Sustainable Fishing
This traditional catch shrimp is wild-harvested from India’s estuarine backwaters and inshore coastal waters using time-tested stake nets and Chinese dip nets, landed by small-scale fishing communities along the coast.

Harvesting & Quality Control
Catch is iced within minutes of landing to preserve freshness, then transported to HACCP-certified plants where it is washed, graded by count, and processed — cooked or raw, as required — before IQF or block freezing.

Culinary Characteristics & Flavor Profile
Flavor: Naturally sweet with the distinctive, slightly stronger shrimp flavour typical of wild-caught catch.
Texture: Firm and snappy, with good bite retention after cooking.
Appearance: Translucent grey-brown shell when raw, turning pink-orange on cooking.
