Reading today's numbers

The highest per-shrimp price for Tiger Shrimp today ($16.65) is 1.2× the lowest ($14.16). That is a fairly tight range, meaning vendors broadly agree on what this shrimp is worth right now.

Common questions

Every answer below is computed from this page's own numbers at build time, and updates with the daily data refresh.

How much do Tiger Shrimp cost?

The median is $14.99 per shrimp, based on 3 in-stock listings with a stated pack size across 1 US vendor as of September 2, 2026. The range runs from $14.16 per shrimp at the low end to $16.65 at the high end. Only one of the vendors the index tracks currently lists them at a verifiable per-shrimp price, so this reflects a single store's listings rather than a cross-vendor comparison. One other vendor sells them in packs whose animal count the listing doesn't state (The Shrimp Farm), so those listings are excluded from the per-shrimp figures rather than divided by a guessed pack size.

Which vendors sell Tiger Shrimp?

2 of the US shrimp vendors the index tracks list them as of September 2, 2026: Shrimpy Business at $14.16 per shrimp and The Shrimp Farm at $34.99 per pack (animal count not stated). Each figure is that vendor's cheapest current listing.

Has the price of Tiger Shrimp changed?

Yes. The per-shrimp market median has changed 6 times across the 50 days the index has tracked them. Shifts here come from the in-stock mix changing — listings selling out or restocking — rather than vendors repricing.
