Reading today's numbers
The highest per-shrimp price for Yellow King Kong Shrimp today ($6.50) is 1.3× the lowest ($5.00). That is a fairly tight range, meaning vendors broadly agree on what this shrimp is worth right now. When judging a price, the median ($5.20) is the better anchor than the low: the cheapest listing can be a large-pack price or a lower grade. If a quote is well above the median, check the vendor table above to see what grade or pack you're comparing against.

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 Yellow King Kong Shrimp cost?
- The median is $5.20 per shrimp, based on 7 in-stock listings with a stated pack size across 2 US vendors as of September 2, 2026. The range runs from $5.00 per shrimp at the low end to $6.50 at the high end. 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 vendor has the cheapest Yellow King Kong Shrimp?
- Superior Shrimp Aquatics has the lowest verified per-shrimp price at $5.00 per shrimp, as of September 2, 2026. Prices exclude shipping and live-arrival guarantee terms, which differ by vendor and can change which store is cheapest to your door. Pack listings without a stated animal count cannot be compared per shrimp and are left out of this comparison.
