Wholesale Whole Australian Eastern King Prawns

Silver Sea Seafoods' whole raw Eastern King Prawns are supplied head and shell on in 5kg foodservice boxes. Graded at sea, immediately packed and snap frozen at temperatures of up to -40°C, they retain the freshness, texture and natural flavour required by chefs and commercial kitchens.

Australian Eastern King Prawns have a rich, clean seafood flavour, low to medium oiliness and moist, tender flesh. Their versatility lends itself to grilling and barbecuing, steaming and poaching, deep frying and stir frying, as well as curries, soups, broths and sauces. Keeping the head and shell intact also gives chefs the option of using the whole prawn for maximum flavour extraction.

Available year-round in U6, U8, U10, U12, U15 and U20 sizes, the range gives chefs flexibility to select the prawn size appropriate to the dish and presentation.

The 500g foodservice packs are designed to improve yield, minimise waste and make storage, portion control and preparation easier in busy commercial kitchens.

Available in U6 Jumbo, U8 XXL, Large and Medium grades, the peeled prawns can be used across fine dining dishes, pasta, salads, canapés, seafood platters and other menu applications.
