King Prawn Fishing

The King Prawn Melicertus latisulcatus is the premium prawn, with the worlds largest known population found in the pristine, cool waters of South Australias Spencer Gulf.
Sixty nights of the year, according to the moon phase, the Port Lincoln Marina empties as the prawn fleet heads out to fish for ***4 days at a time. This happens during November and December, and then again from March to June.

 Benefit to the customer

Within *0 minutes of being wild caught, our King Prawns are graded, packed and snap frozen on-board the fishing boats. This ensures they maintain their unique fresh sea flavour and premium quality from ocean to plate.
