Meet… Kauai Ama Ebi

The shrimp that hasn't left the island in decades is finally available to the mainland. These beautiful, deep-water red ama ebi are sweet, tender, and shipped FRESH! These shrimp are trap caught, which is one of our preferred methods of fishing for limited by-catch and limited impact on the environment. These shrimp are caught at over 2,000 feet deep, so unfortunately they cannot be shipped alive.

Fresh Kauai Ama Ebi (20 pieces per pound) | Sold in 2 pound increments

Should be consumed within 4 days of delivery or can be frozen.

Kainoa Fisheries

Meet Devin and his father Vincent, founders of Kainoa Fishery. Most fishermen in Hawaii target finfish, which is how Vincent has spent his 30+ year career as a commercial fisherman. However, there's a lot of commercial fishermen targeting ahi and mahi mahi. Instead of focusing on these staples, the Silva family has carved out a special niche focusing on deep water shrimps. They're learned from the shrimpers before them, who are happy to pass down the unique technique down to the next generation of sustainable shrimp harvesters.

fresh and lovely

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.

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.
