Spot Prawns
FAQ

The spot prawn season typically runs from May to June each year, lasting around 6 to 8 weeks. The exact opening dates may vary slightly each year depending on fisheries management regulations and resource conservation efforts.

Spot prawns have a tender texture and naturally sweet flavor that surpasses that of typical frozen shrimp. They are wild-caught and processed quickly after harvest to preserve their freshness. In addition, spot prawns are rich in protein and essential minerals, making them both a delicious and nutritious seafood choice.

Spot prawns are best enjoyed as soon as possible after purchase. If you need to store them short-term, keep them in ice water or refrigerate and consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness. For longer storage, it’s best to freeze them with the shell on to lock in moisture and retain their natural sweetness.

The best way to enjoy spot prawns is to keep it simple to highlight their natural sweetness. Popular methods include:

• Steaming

• Boiling (blanched in salted water)

• Quick stir-frying

For sashimi, spot prawns must be extremely fresh—ideally caught and eaten on the same day—to ensure both flavor and safety.
