A 1kg pack of whole black tiger prawns from south-east Asia — 8 to 12 large prawns at the premium 8/12 grade. Black tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon) are known for their long, smooth bodies with distinctive black-and-yellow stripes — visually striking and one of our favourite prawn products. Sweet, succulent flesh that takes confidently to BBQ, grill or sear.
