Yangjun Prawns

Yangjun Prawns

　　Yangjun Prawns are a famous product of Laiyang, produced in the bay of Yangjun Town at the southern tip of Laiyang City. Thanks to the Wulong River flowing into the Yellow Sea here, the seawater contains abundant natural food sources, resulting in high-quality meat in live Yangjun Prawns. In recent years, a modern shrimp farm has been built on Li Island. Currently, the shrimp farming area covers over 6,000 acres, with an annual production of 400,000 jin. There are also overwintering ponds, allowing fresh prawns to be available even in the depths of winter.

　　Yangjun Prawns have a short growth cycle, reaching 12–18 cm in just 110 days. Their shells are thin and transparent, the meat is clean and translucent, crystal-clear like jade, with plump brains and tender flesh, offering a delicious taste. Yangjun Prawns are considered top-grade among prawns, enjoying a high international reputation, especially popular among Japanese buyers.
