About this item
Long, segmented bodies in a warm orange-brown shell, with the sweetest meat packed along the tail. They arrive whole and raw, so you can split them down the back and grill them hard for a few minutes, or steam them until the shells lift away cleanly. The flesh is denser and sweeter than a prawn, and well worth the small effort of getting at it.
