Medium Prawn in Siliguri Home Delivered

1. Product Introduction

Prawn, popularly known as Chingri (চিংড়ি মাছ) in Bengal, is one of the most loved seafood delicacies in Eastern India. Medium-sized prawns strike the perfect balance between tenderness and flavour, making them suitable for a wide variety of dishes ranging from traditional curries to modern recipes.

With Oi Food’s prawns in Siliguri home delivery, you can enjoy fresh prawns without visiting busy fish markets. The prawns are delivered whole and fresh, ensuring you receive the natural taste and quality of farm-sourced seafood.

The prawns supplied by Oi Food are sourced mainly from trusted farms in North Bengal and other parts of Bengal, where aquaculture practices ensure healthy and high-quality produce. At times, supplies may also come from other reliable sources across the country to maintain freshness and availability.

Medium prawns are especially popular among home cooks because they cook quickly, absorb spices well, and remain juicy in both curries and fried dishes.
