The Oishii Way

When we say Oishii shrimp are a step above the rest, we aren’t just talking about size—we’re talking about a fundamental shift in quality. "Oishii" is the Japanese word for delicious, and these shrimp earn that name through a meticulous live-harvest process. By utilizing state-of-the-art technology and stress-free harvesting, Oishii delivers a shrimp with a vibrant color, a natural sweetness, and a signature "snap" that traditional frozen shrimp simply cannot replicate. For chefs who refuse to compromise on texture and flavor, this is the gold standard.

Because of their superior integrity, these shrimp shine in applications where quality is front and center. They are robust enough to be the star of the plate and refined enough for delicate preparations. To help spark some culinary inspiration, here are two ways to showcase the Oishii difference:

  • Oishii Yuzu & Blood Orange Ceviche: Lean into the natural sweetness of the shrimp by pairing it with a bright, citrus-forward leche de tigre. The shrimp’s firm texture holds up beautifully to the acidity, creating a clean, high-end appetizer that stands out.
  • Charred Oishii "Shrimp Toast" with Truffle Aioli: Take a classic to the next level. Using the 21-25ct size, create a bold, savory small plate that highlights the shrimp's snappy bite against a rich, earthy umami backdrop.

January Promotional Sizes & Codes: We are currently featuring two of our most versatile EZ Peel sizes on our January promo sheet. Both come in convenient 2lb bags, perfect for maintaining freshness and managing food costs:

  • 21-25ct Oishii EZ Peel Shrimp | Code: OI2125
  • 26-30ct Oishii EZ Peel Shrimp | Code: OI2630
