King Prawns (Melicertus plebejus)
Moreton Bay King Prawns in season truly are the King of the Bay, they represent great tasting premium product supreme in quality, ready for chef or barbecue.

 

Seasonality: November to June

 

Flavor : Premium taste
Texture: Firm
Oil content: Low
Moisture: Pleasantly moist and succulent
Harvested from: Moreton Bay
Harvest Method: Bay trawling  (otter trawl)
Stock Status: Sustainably fished

 

Fishers and consumers get the best results when in harmony with the environment.

 

Prawn-trawl gear can only be successfully operated on smooth ground that is relatively soft, because the light fishing net is easily damaged if snagged on seabed obstacles, and prawns like to bury into the soft seabed when they are not active.
