Black Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon)
The Black Tiger Shrimp, locally known as "Bagda," is the most iconic seafood export from the coastal regions of Bangladesh. Renowned for its bold, tiger-like stripes and impressive size, this species is a favorite in the global gourmet market. Sourced from the saline coastal waters of the Bay of Bengal, our Black Tiger shrimps are celebrated for their crunchy texture and savory, bold flavor.
