ABOUT US

Generations Of Shrimp Expertise. Trusted Around The World.

The Big Prawn is a family-owned Canadian seafood company built on generations of shrimp farming expertise and a commitment to delivering exceptional shrimp.

Our story began in the coastal regions of India, where our family's connection to shrimp farming laid the foundation for decades of experience in aquaculture, harvesting, processing, quality assurance, international sourcing, and seafood trade.

Headquartered in Canada, The Big Prawn serves clients across Canada and the United States — supplying premium shrimp to retailers, foodservice operators, distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers, and private label partners.
