Treatments & grading

Specified the way Canadian buyers expect

Shrimp are graded by count per pound (e.g. 26/30 = 26 to 30 shrimp per pound). We specify the count, the form, the glaze percentage and the net weight on every order — and whether the product is STPP-treated or NW/NC (no weight added, no chemicals).

  • Count per lb — from U/5 jumbo Black Tiger to 91/110 Vannamei.
  • Treatment — natural / traditional, or STPP-treated for moisture retention.
  • Glaze & net weight — declared net weight after glaze, checked before loading.
  • Packing — 400 g, 1 lb, 2 lb retail; 6 × 1.8 kg block; 10 kg bulk; white cartons with label or printed cartons.
