I will be sampling all the different varieties in Cairns from Friday...yum yum. Now, seriously, I did see them in Countdown at New Year, they were the Australian banana prawns. If you have a local wet fish shop, I would ask them or see if there are any seafood places online that you can purchase from.

Just about all the food we eat is fresh home grown, or fresh from the sea....but oh those scrummy prawns, I can't resist them every once in a while
They are about the same price as the ones from the supermarket here. About $22 per kg.

Morning Mr Fisher, I will be sure to. DH has an internal "radar" for anything to doo with prawns LOL, a bit like my mango radar. Have you tried any of those smoking recipes yet?

The countdown special is gone now - lovely lovely ones they were too :)
But you can buy at new World at present for $25 a kilo - wild caught Australian Mooloolaba prawns.
They also have NZ Gurnard fillets on special for $23 - so have a seafood night - and don't forget to make davidt4's lovely mayo to go with it all.
Good luck - and enjoy!
