Prawns are a type of shellfish that is related to shrimp. They are a delicious option for seafood lovers. They are also very high in protein, low in fat, and packed with minerals such as selenium and zinc, which support the immune system.

At FishMe, we source the best variety of prawns available in Sydney including:

• Australian Tiger Prawns: These vibrant prawns get their name from their distinctive stripes. They are popular for stir-fries, curries, and skewers as they hold their shape well when cooked.
• King Prawns: These large prawns are perfect for special occasions. They can be grilled, baked, or steamed, and are often served with a dipping sauce or lemon wedges.
• Banana Prawns: Banana prawns are ideal for those who want a sweeter-tasting prawn. They are popular in Asian cuisine, and are often stir-fried or served in soup.
• Vannamei Prawns: Vannamei prawns are a type of white shrimp that is commonly farmed in Southeast Asia. They are a popular choice for shrimp cocktails and other appetizers, as they are small and easy to eat.
• School Prawns: Our Australian School Prawns are caught from the clean waters down the north and south coasts of Australia.

Storing Prawns

If you don't have time to get to them immediately, store them properly for later use. To freeze prawns, place them in a single layer on a baking tray and place them in the freezer until frozen solid; this will prevent them from sticking together when stored. Then transfer them to an airtight container or plastic bag and keep them in the freezer for up to 12 months.

Cleaning Prawns

To clean prawns, start by giving them a rinse under cold water. Then, remove the head, shell, and tail with kitchen scissors or a sharp knife. Pat them dry with paper towels or a clean tea towel and then cut along both sides of each segment using kitchen scissors. Optionally, you can peel off the black outer shell from each segment, but many dishes call for the prawns to be cooked with the shell on for more flavor.

However, if you cook them, know that FishMe is your source for the freshest prawns in Sydney or the surrounding areas.
