We have always offered a really large size of this prawn - you'd find it difficult to get this size in a supermarket. That's why it os one of our very best sellers.
The tiger prawn from South-East Asia is the world’s favourite king prawn, but question marks hang over its production. We take great care in sourcing our tiger prawns: no, we don’t personally police the farms, but our two key suppliers know their sources well.
We sell this item both raw and cooked - you will find the cooked ones here.
Please note that unlike many other sites, we quote you the defrosted weight, not the gross weight. All peeled king prawns have a protective ice glaze, which melts away upon defrosting. Some suppliers add a very thick glaze, to make their prawns seem heavier and therefore cheaper. Ours have a 20% glaze; dubious prawns can have a glaze of up to 50%.
