With a mild taste that often has a nutty-sweet note, the meat is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals - a perfect source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Bavarian shrimp are brine shrimp usually native to the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Central and South America. However, this is not the case with these magnificent specimens. The Bavarian shrimp come from our RAS aquacultures in Munich & Kiel . They are known for their beautiful blue color, mild flavor and delicate texture.

The body of the shrimp species is elongated and slender with a rounded head region and a flattened tail. They have ten pairs of legs, the first pair of which ends in scissors. The color of the Bavarian shrimp is blue-whitish transparent. With a mild taste that often has a nutty-sweet note, the meat is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals - a perfect source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Look at their feelers

The body-length antennae of the Bavarian shrimp are a quality feature and stand for stress-free breeding.

Transparent carapace

A hard, glassy shell is also a sign of quality. Our shrimp are raised stress-free under a low stocking density.

Fun fact:

The Bavarian shrimp yodels. No, seriously: shrimps make sounds to communicate with each other, each shrimp seems to have its own “voice”. They can also interact with each other via body language and frequencies that are inaudible to us. In fact, when there are a lot of shrimp in one area, they can be so loud that their sounds interfere with sonar devices.
