The flesh of Super U8 Tiger Prawns is firm, meaty, and naturally sweet. They aren’t overpowering, yet their taste stands out in any dish. When fried or grilled, the outside develops a light crisp while the inside stays soft and juicy. These prawns soak up spices, garlic, butter, lemon, or masala effortlessly, making them versatile for both simple preparations and rich, bold curries.
