They taste good but for some reasons they don’t have much meat inside the shells.

I used the shrimp in sushi and it was as sweet as advertised. The next night we made Italian style shrimp over pasta w head on. All of the shells and bodies made a killer bisque. These were a fun shrimp to work with. Thank you
I love to cook and it’s great to have ingredients to play with

shrimp did not smell or taste fresh at all, sealed air tight in freezer ziploc bag, also was not cold when arrived

Wish I had ordered more than 2 lbs!

Delicious! They definitely have their own flavor that sets them apart from the standard shrimp you're use to. Kind of sweet and briney at the same time...
Walter B.
Wow!!! What a special product! Loved these guys from the deep. Perfect dinner
Hitomu S.
Price is high. The shrimp not as large showed, I was disappointed.(price & size)

Received the shimp defrosted had to trow it away because of strong fishi smell I had shimp from your company before so I do know what fresh shimp smells like

I spent the greater part of a day cleaning and prepping this shrimp, at times wondering if it would be worth it.
WOW it sure was. I made stock and included the hoods from the head and then breaded and fried the bottom part of the head, very tasty, crunchy, not your standard fair, made a few sushi roll and lastly a sashimi dish with shiso leaves, orange, jalapeño and the ama ebi body,
So sweet a lovely way to begin a new year
Thank you and Happy New Year

The AMA-EBI is always good!
Anthony E.
Even though I had to wait months for this to finally arrive it was very good. But really disappointed with the length of time I had to wait.

I always order live Ama-Ebi at least once a year and they always give the best fresh Shrimp!
James B.
Awesome, unique flavor!
Ceviched, grilled, sauteed with garlic & butter!
Only disappointment is the ratio of head to tail.....
Over 50% is nonedible heads.
Great shrimp stock, but pricey!
Lisbet H.
Delicious and sweet. Very fresh

I’ve eaten a lot of shrimp in my lifetime. Although I was unfamiliar with the variety of shrimp from Maui, it was without a doubt the BEST shrimp I have EVER eaten. I couldn’t believe how sweet it was! I’m saving all the heads and shells to make a seafood stock for bouillabaisse. Thank you for your great product, service and partnership with World Kitchen and the community of Maui!! KUDOS!!!
Panpan G.

Sylvester G.

Victor M.
Incredible quality and flavor. You must try them. I ordered 4 pounds and we were so happy we did.

Super fresh and tasty!

Excellent shrimp, on a par with (and maybe slightly sweeter than) the e-fish spot prawns I've bought in the past. I shelled the shrimp and sliced them lengthwise and made a rich stock with the heads and shells, then made a Catalan-style arròs (rice) on the grill, adding the shrimp and some chopped scallion greens for color near the end of cooking. I seared a few whole shrimp to put on top. Couldn't have been better.

We had the Ama Ebi shrimp for the first time, and we loved them!
We had them ‘crudo’ with a drissle of EVOO and ground pepper.
We have NEVER had any disappointments when we order products from E-Fish.
Keep up the good work Jeff & Matt.

Fresh and very sweet shrimp. This is our second time. I will definitely buy this again.
Anees J.
OMG! The best shrimp I have ever tasted! I like them pan fried with some spices and lemon juice and they tasted heavenly! Thank you!
Veronica A.
the item I wanted was out of stock at first but, quickly became available again so, I'm a happy camper & am stoked to order something else when I'm able I've got my eye on some Uni
Steven B.
Made tempura heads and garlic butter grilled split ama ebi.
Yuiko O.
They were so fresh & the flavor of the shrimp was tremendous.
Nate M.
The shrimp are delicious! They arrived super fresh and we enjoyed them both as sashimi and in a saute’ the first night, and both were delightful. The next day they were just as wonderful prepared in a bouillabaisse along with fresh Dungeness crab, also from E-Fish. Finally, as pictured with this review, a shrimp cocktail was enjoyed by boiling for 90 seconds followed by an ice bath chill and served with a ketchup, Mayo, wasabi & Cholula sauce. Delicious.
I’m quite happy with my purchase, specially because I waited too long the first time ama ebi was offered and missed out. However I probably won’t buy again. Although I can afford the price, there are alternatives that offer comparable taste and texture at significantly better prices. They are both also deep water species of the family Pleoticus, one marketed as Royal Reds, available from southeast US purveyors of fresh and frozen seafoods. The other is Argentine red shrimp from the same family, often available frozen in supermarkets. While the frozen is not going to be good as the Silva caught product, it is pretty tasty when properly cooked.
One other comment: the heads are very large on the Kauai ama ebi, so best to keep that in mind when ordering. I was mildly surprised when I realized the yield was likely little more than 50%. I made up for that somewhat by searing the heads and shells and using them to make stock.
Akihiro I.
Amazing shrimps!!!

Ama Ebi cured with Konbu.
Chauncey C.
These were the tastiest and sweetest shrimp I have ever had.

Shrimp arrived perfectly!

We have been fortunate enough to enjoy lots of ama ebi from Devin's family on Kaua'i as we live on the island. We consider it the finest ingredient Kaua'i has to offer and better than shrimp we've had anywhere else , including at many Michelin starred restaurants around the world. (Big local pride!) This shrimp is incomparable - so sweet and tender and clean, and such a beautiful red color. Pictured here as part of a surf & turf meal for friends.
