Thread: Prawns into Perth

Gday All,

We are tossing up the idea of offering some of our by-catch, mainly Morton bay bugs..

This is going to require alot of help at your end as we have to keep these whole due to a size limit that is measured across the head.We pack them in 1kg bags, and because of this a master carton only holds about 6-7kgs.

I would need to send all the bugs together and you would need to seperate the order at your end.If I tried to seperate the bugs into orders like the prawns, the freight cost would kill the idea due to the amount of boxes I would need to send.

If this could work I would look at charging $21 kilo.

Think about it, so check what you pay locally and let me have some idea if you think it could work.

Cheers Ean

Thanks Ean!

Your product tastes so great we would be happy to buy it even if it costs more than the local stuff of unknown origin!

We will definitely be in for at least 18kg of prawns and 7 kg of bugs. Will ask around and can probably get more.

Any other By-catch available?
I see Andy has put his hand up, but I am also happy to help sort the order at this end.


EDIT - to get in while they last:

EDIT 2 - order amended - (Plus) more to come over the next day or 2

We will take:
7x3 kg (21kg) of 10/15 Tigers
2x1.5 kg (3kg) of U8 Tigers
2x3 kg (6kg) of 15/25 Endeavours

Will add by-catch order and other orders later.

I'm jumping in before they swim away ,
prices sound good and caught locally they must taste better than the import crap

can i take
1x1.5 kg (1.5kg) of U8 Tigers per pound
1x3 kg (3kg) of 10/15 Tigers per pound
1x3 kg (3kg) of 15/25 Endeavours per pound

You would get between 9-13 per kilo, just depends on the sizes of the bugs, we have a minimum size of 60mm across the head.
