A 1kg bag of large whole wild raw scampi — 8 to 12 generous scampi per pack. Scampi (also Dublin Bay prawn or langoustine) is closely related to the lobster and shares much of the lobster’s sweet, succulent meat character at a smaller scale. Many chefs prefer raw scampi to prawns — the flavour is more complex, the texture more refined.
