Seafood this christmas

[Ean Austral]

Gday All,

Had a couple of enquiries about prawns and bugs again this christmas. I am happy to do it if there is enough interest.

It would have to be along the same lines as last year in reguards to 1 consignment and 1 invoice per state, but think it went well last year, well never had any complaints.

NSW and Tassie are still basically undoable due to transport.

I will see what stock we will have later in the month and work out whats going to be able to be offered, but am sure can offer the same or similar as last year.

Anyway think about it and I will put something together early november.

Cheers Ean

[CraigE]

We will be in again for sure.

Gday All,

I was thinking of offering the following,

Large u/15 endeavours
XLarge u/10 tigers
1kg bags of bugs.

I will look at the med size Endeavours if there is enough people that want them,

Let me know what people think. I will post some prices in the next few days, but think I can match last years, with a better price on the bugs..

Cheers Ean

[weeds]

No probs, will hold a few boxes of mediums back and will offer them out.

Cheers Ean

[loanrangie]

I also like the mediums as they are multipurpose .

Large u/15 endeavours
XLarge u/10 tigers

Sounds good. Any other (non prawn) items on offer?

[steveG]

Count me in again this year :)

Steve

[Hymie]

Yep, I'm in again.

[Ean Austral]

Sorry Ben, if I still had my trawler I could look at it , but its hard to get company boats to pack by catch in a easy saleable pack , especially when Raptis has the factory in brissie and re process all that stuff.

Cheers Ean

[LandyAndy]

Cheers Ean.

Gday Andrew,

Unfortunately this is what happens, you do all the work thinking its a great idea and it gets you down with the attitude of most.

Best thing is get your own for you and those close to you and enjoy your wares.

Will post up all the info soon.

Cheers Ean

[weeds]

i am not sure if i am allowed to start a thread in The Verandah.........while we wait for Ean to finalise prices and start a Brisbane Thread i will capture mine here.

Weeds = 26kg
2 x U/15
4 x 10/20
1 x tiger U/10
5 x 1kg bugs......

based on min 70kg that puts queensland well on the way.

[d2dave]

I'm in. Thanks Ean.

[disco_disco]

Im in again
Thanks Ean

Good excuse to have a long weekend in Brisbane...

[flyinglandrover]

Sorry Ean but would you mind explaining the offerings a little! I know I read last years thread at some stage and thought it was a good deal but as that was more than a couple of days ago I have lost it!
U15, 10/20 all Greek to me!:(

The numbers are prawns per pound. So the smaller the number the larger the prawns. U means under (less than). So U10 size prawns are <10 per pound, so likely 5-6" long prawns.

This shows U8 Tigers and 10/15 Endeavours next to a very large lamb chop.

U15 means 15 or less per kg, basically its the size of the prawn....

If you compare prices with the shops you need to ask how many prawns to the kg

Pretty sure my memory serves me right

Close, but is less than 15 per POUND not per kilo.

Gday Gary,

All prawns no mater where you buy them should be labelled with a size, and that size is the amount of prawns per pound, this is standard across all species.
So,
u/10 is 10 or less so are a large size
21/30 are a lot smaller because it takes more prawns to a pound of weight.

If you compare the prices I quote with your local supplier or shop, make sure you find out the count per pound, not just large , medium or small.

Depends on what market you sell into depends on how you size prawns, but mainly in Australia you will have,
u/10
u/15
10/20
21/30
Oversea's markets demand fine grading
u/6, 6/8 , 9/12 , 13/15 , 16/20.

Don't panick if you see those sizes as they are correct, they are just mainly prawns that were packed for a certain market and for some reason they have been sold locally.

Anymore questions just ask.

Cheers Ean

[Ralph1Malph]

Pound, Kilo, Bushell, I don't care!:p:D just as long as I can get my hands on them yummy offerings!:D

Weeds, I am good for a few boxes when you start taking orders.

Ean, I must say the bugs went down a treat last year, more so then the prawns in my house! I'd keen on some mediums as well if you could include them. Good for curries.

Ralph

[LandyAndy]

I still have half a box left from last year.
They will be used for bait:p:p:p:p:p,belive it or not Eans prawns are cheaper than BCF bait prawns;););););)
Andrew

[tailslide]

...Eans prawns are cheaper than BCF bait prawns;););););)
Andrew
And probably better bait as well.:D You wouldn't want to eat the bait prawns that I have recently bought...:o

Last Friday finished the last of the prawns, still good, but showing their age just a bit. The bugs had long gone...;)

I am currently in PNG so I have the slowest internet on the planet so i haven't been able to read all threads. Is there anyone organising an order for melbourne as i will be there for Christmas. Tick me up for a box. I will check in on the thread when I get back next Wednesday. How much is a box? I might even get two. I will be in Melbourne from mid December. Cheers.
