Thread: Prawns to Melbourne

    Prawns to Melbourne

    Gday All,

    Sorry for the delay,
    We have tried to keep our prices low, but the export market for tiger prawns and the real bad catches have forced the price of the Large tigers up abit.

    I am offering the tigers at cost price, but have a very limited amount, so I may have to stop offering them once I sell what I have.
    The only increase from last year is the large tigers in the 3kg box all other prices are the same.

    The product will go to Gilberts depot Melbourne, subzero cold stores in Brooklyn

    I need a minimum order of 8x9kg cartons and sent as 1 consignment for this to work..

    Tiger Prawns...
    Under 8 (8 or less per pound)..1.5kg box =$43 our premium prawn & our largest by far..

    10/15...(10/15 per pound).....3kg box =$63. A noticable size difference to the u/8 but still a good prawn size

    Endeavour Prawns..These are direct competition to king & Banana prawns
    Under 15...(15 or less per pound)...3kg box =$53

    15/25...(15/25 prawns per pound)....3kg box =$43 This is a good medium size prawn..

    Please compare my prices to your local supplier, and when you compare prawn prices make sure you compare the size grade's (count per pound) as this is standard across all prawn industry's..

    Would look at getting these out of darwin around 6th December to arrive around 13th.

    Cheers Ean

    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

    I'm definitely in again this year.

    Will confirm an order next week, just gauging some interest off people at work.

    I've had a question asked of me though, approx. how many bugs per kg please Ean??
