Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 16/20 shrimp?
16–20 pieces per pound (453.6 g), so one piece weighs about 22.7–28.3 g and a kilogram holds about 35–44 pieces.
Do Korean buyers use per-pound counts?
Yes for most frozen shrimp (HOSO, HLSO, PD, PDTO). Some small shrimp and shrimp meat are quoted per kilogram, e.g. 100/200 per kg. Always state which unit you use.
Does the count include the glaze?
Count is by net weight in most offers, but practice varies. State net weight and glaze % on your offer to avoid disputes.
