FISH

The animals are farmed in an organic production system, with impeccable welfare and water quality. Feeding is natural, provided by the replication of the lagoon environment.

Laguna has the last mangrove swamps in southern Brazil and is an environment with large lagoons influenced by salt and fresh water. The brackish water differentiates the cultivation environment, with the presence of diatoms (brown algae), which give color and enrich the shrimp nutritionally. Laguna has a water resurgence effect that promotes a rich and abundant aquatic diversity. These conditions and latitude provide them with their own characteristics that distinguish them from other farmed shrimp.

It is a distinctive product in its aroma, color, texture and taste. Its aroma is appreciated for the presence of seaweed. Its color is darker, which turns orange to red after cooking. Its texture is more tender and it doesn't become stiff after cooking. The taste is distinctive, which refines the palate of those who consume it. In 2022, we received the national Dolmã gastronomy award. In 2023, AQUISHOW, the largest aquaculture fair in Brazil, awarded us third place in the PRODUCTION category.
