EXTENSIVE BLACK TIGER SHRIMP
A Premium Specialty from Cà Mau
Black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is one of the most renowned delicacies from Cà Mau, the southernmost region of Vietnam. Shrimp harvesting and wild capture began as early as the 19th century, while shrimp farming started to flourish in the 1980s and has since developed into a key economic sector of the province.
Introduction about Ca Mau’s Black Tiger Shrimp
Located at the southern tip of Vietnam, Cà Mau is blessed with a rich and diverse mangrove ecosystem, uniquely characterized by the intersection of saltwater, freshwater, and brackish environments. These distinctive natural conditions have fostered a vibrant culinary culture, of which Cà Mau black tiger shrimp is a highlight — often referred to as the “black gold” of the region.
Origin and Development History
The capture and farming of black tiger shrimp in Cà Mau dates back to the 19th century. By the 1980s, shrimp aquaculture had significantly expanded, becoming a major contributor to the provincial economy. Today, Cà Mau’s black tiger shrimp has transcended local markets to reach global consumers, meeting strict export quality standards.
Key Characteristics of Ca Mau’s Black Tiger Shrimp
1. Naturally Ecological Farming Environment
Cà Mau black tiger shrimp are cultivated in a fully natural mangrove environment, entirely free from industrial feed, antibiotics, or growth enhancers. Farmers rely on tidal cycles to renovate their shrimp ponds and promote the growth of algae and moss — natural food sources that support the shrimp’s healthy development, resulting in firm, flavorful meat.
👉 Cà Mau’s remote geography, far from major river mouths, ensures unpolluted water sources — an ideal condition for high-quality shrimp farming.
2. Exceptional Premium Quality
👉 Thick, hard, glossy shell
👉 Firm, sweet, naturally chewy meat
👉 Average size: 40–55 grams per shrimp
👉 High protein content (19.13%–23.32%), rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids
Not only delicious, Ca Mau’s black tiger shrimp are also highly nutritious, supporting cardiovascular health, brain function, and offering antioxidant properties.
