A large proportion of the ‘fresh’ Prawn you will find available are actually defrosted frozen Prawn.
They will range:
From small, succulent, cooked and peeled North Atlantic coldwater prawn (Pandalus borealis).
To giant, meaty U10 (under 10 Prawn per kg/each 100g+) raw whole Black Tiger Prawn (Penaeus monodon), which are farmed in the Far East and Latin America.
Freezing at source locks in the freshness, and ensures better choice, availability, convenience, quality and value.
