Argentine red prawns are a prime example of natural quality from sustainable fishing. Their habitat lies in the cool, plankton-rich southwest Atlantic off the coast of Patagonia. Here, the prawns grow slowly – far from industrial aquaculture facilities – developing exceptionally dense, succulent flesh. This origin makes their Incomparable tasteSlightly sweet, delicately salty, and pleasantly maritime, without ever tasting fishy. After being caught, the prawns are deveined and flash-frozen on land in certified facilities. This process preserves their cell structure and guarantees that they develop their full aroma when cooked. This gives you a product that behaves almost like it's freshly caught after thawing – perfect for your creative cooking. They are versatile and foolproof to prepare. In a pan, 2–3 minutes per side is enough until they are delicately pink on the outside and translucent on the inside. On the grill, high heat creates fine roasted aromas – a touch of garlic, chili, and lemon zest enhances their natural flavor. Combined with pasta, risotto, or Mediterranean vegetables, they make a light, aromatic dish that will delight even discerning guests. Health-conscious gourmets also love them: With hardly any fat, plenty of protein, and important trace elements like iodine and selenium, red prawns are a valuable, natural protein source. No wonder they are equally popular among athletes and flexitarians.

Your questions about Argentinian red prawns – our answers!

What distinguishes Argentine red prawns from carabineros?

Both species are red and originate from the Atlantic Ocean, but they are not to be confused. Argentine red prawns (Pleoticus muelleri) They live in the cool southwest Atlantic and have a more delicate, sweet, aromatic flavor. Carabineros, on the other hand, come from warmer waters and possess a more intense, almost "crustacean" flavor with a bolder color. Our red prawns impress with their tenderness, elegance, and natural sweetness – ideal for a wide variety of recipes.

Which calibers are suitable for which purposes?

For grilling or pan-frying, we recommend larger calibers such as 20/30 They remain particularly moist and are easy to turn. They are ideal for pasta or risotto. 30/40 Perfect, as they blend harmoniously into the sauce without being overpowering. The number indicates the number of shrimp per kilogram: the smaller the number, the larger the shrimp. Both sizes offer a delicate texture and even cooking.

Are the red prawns MSC-certified?

Parts of the Patagonian fishery are MSC-certified. Fleischer & Koch preferentially sources products from these sustainable sources. Every delivery includes a batch code with the fishing area and method – so you know exactly where your seafood comes from. Sustainability and quality are not a trend for us, but a promise to you and to the oceans.

Important information – so that you are happy

Note: Orders placed as part of promotions or special offers will only be shipped within the same calendar week as the order, but no later than the end of the respective month. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate future delivery requests for such offers.

Note: Freshly portioned meat instead of frozen – perfectly chilled and shipped separately from frozen goods.

Would you prefer your meat fresh rather than frozen? No problem! For an additional €9,90, we'll use high-quality ice packs to ensure your freshly portioned cuts arrive perfectly chilled, without freezing. This way, you can enjoy the meat immediately or store it in the refrigerator for a few days.

The freshly portioned meat is packaged separately from already frozen goods. This ensures that every order remains in its ideal condition, and you can be sure that when you choose "fresh," you will receive truly fresh, juicy pieces of meat of the highest quality – without any compromises.

Packaging and refrigeration instructions – with responsibility and common sense

Your order will arrive fresh, safe and reliably chilled – thanks to state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly cooling technology.

We consciously use sustainable materials, avoid printed cardboard boxes, and use discreet stickers made from recycled raw materials. This minimizes packaging waste and keeps the focus where it belongs: on the quality of your enjoyment.

Our cooling packaging keeps the desired temperature stable for at least 36 hours. Whether you order freshly portioned goods delivered at refrigerator temperature (in combination with our ice packs),

or frozen specialties shipped with dry ice – your meat, seafood or delicatessen will arrive safely and ready to enjoy.

In short: We deliver enjoyment – ​​chilled, sustainable and with a good feeling.

Note regarding your desired delivery date – this is how to make it stress-free

You can easily specify your desired delivery date at checkout.

But here's our tip:
If you have an important event coming up – like a wedding, a birthday, a big BBQ, a concert, or (very tricky) a visit from your mother-in-law – it's best to plan in a buffer day. This gives us time to react if something is unexpectedly out of stock or if there are any issues with shipping.

For larger events, it's best to send us your order number directly by email or in the notes – that way we know everything needs to run perfectly. And it will.

Because for us, quality comes before speed. We're not a warehouse outlet selling mass-produced goods. Every product is handled by master craftsmen, freshly portioned, inspected, and carefully prepared.
And yes – that's exactly why it can happen that something is sold out at short notice.

But: Don't worry, we usually procure everything within 24 hours.

Conclusion: If you plan with enjoyment in mind, plan for an extra day. And it pays off – we promise.

Note on the refrigerant – Why we use dry ice

To ensure your freshly portioned meat arrives truly fresh, we include a small "cooling marvel" called dry ice in the package for shipping. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO₂). Unlike regular ice, which consists of water, dry ice evaporates directly into CO₂ gas instead of melting. This allows it to maintain a consistently low temperature inside the package without any liquid water accumulating.

Why do we use dry ice?
Quite simply: We want to ensure your meat stays cool and fresh at all times – even if the package takes a little longer to arrive. Dry ice maintains an extremely low temperature, so the meat is optimally protected from heat. The result: sustainable and safe transport that preserves the quality of the meat.

What happens to the meat during transport?
Your meat is kept frozen during shipping. The cold causes the surface of the meat to contract slightly, which can sometimes result in a thin layer of ice. This may look unusual, but it is perfectly normal.

Why do ice crystals form on meat?
At such low temperatures, tiny ice crystals can form on the surface of the meat. This happens if some moisture accumulates within the packaging system or if the surface tissue of the meat is slightly moistened. These small crystals have absolutely no impact on quality or taste – they are simply an indication that the meat has been intensely chilled.

How do you maintain the full quality of the meat?
Thanks to this careful cooling process, the quality of your meat is fully preserved. Upon receipt, you can easily freeze the meat and store it for later. Alternatively, you can gently thaw it in the refrigerator and enjoy it immediately. Whether you put it straight on the grill or store it in the freezer first, you can be sure you're getting the best freshness on your plate.
