A 1kg gross box (800g net) of our second-biggest whole uncooked prawns — 4 to 6 enormous prawns per pack, bigger than the picture suggests. Pale, chewy-textured, subtly sweet (similar to other shellfish like crab and lobster). Built for garlic-butter butterflied preparations where the size is the whole point.
