Thread: Which prawn size would you choose

I'd go the monsters myself. I hate peeling the bloody things, so the more meat per peel is fine with me.

Hey Ean!

why no standard Sizing for prawns yet?

I do wonder how big a monster is?

I personally was hoping to see a MONSTA monster,


There is standard prawns sizing, I am unsure why this list can be used, but the fact there was no other boat selling may have something to do with it.

Cheers Ean

The last 2 years I've had a Greek friend get a box of prawns off me.
They are never big enough to keep him happy, so a box of Monsters would do.

I would be slightly suspect that there is no size under large in the tigers.


May wonder over and ask to see a pack of monsters.


Cheers Ean

monster envy Ean?

You make your choices about what combination of seafood you will eat, it is packed into the plastic bag, you pay the stall holders, you walk through and choose where you want to sit, they boy takes the seafood to the nearest restaurant, and he is paid by them. You buy your drinks, beer and wine, and then pay the restaurant...I have never paid more than $20 a person.

When I first got to Mozambique in 2000, a plate of 3 x mud crabs, in a restaurant sitting on a verandah overlooking the ocean was $5 a plate....the price has gone up since then, but still, it ain't $10 for a plate of seafood in a restaurant.
