Peeled North Atlantic Prawns

These are little prawns with bags of flavour. Our wild-caught North Atlantic Coldwater Prawns come from Royal Greenland and are caught in the icy waters around Greenland, where the cold conditions mean they grow slowly, developing their characteristic sweet flavour and delicate texture.

We buy the largest grade we can, with minimal protective glaze, because the difference really does show when you eat them. They're smaller and more delicate than our King Prawns, but what they lack in size they more than make up for in flavour.

They make, quite simply, the ultimate prawn cocktail. They're also fabulous piled into a generously buttered prawn sandwich with a little Marie Rose sauce, spooned over an avocado, or eaten straight from the bowl when nobody's looking.

We think these are at their absolute best freshly defrosted, so we supply them frozen for you to defrost at home. Simply pop them into the fridge overnight, or spread them onto a clean plate for a quicker defrost, making sure they remain properly chilled. Once fully defrosted, keep refrigerated and enjoy within two days.

Did you know…Coldwater prawns grow much more slowly than their warm-water cousins. The chilly North Atlantic environment means it takes them several years to reach maturity - one of the reasons they're prized for their particularly sweet flavour and delicate, succulent texture.

Prawn cocktail, buttered white bread and these little beauties. Sometimes the old-fashioned things really are the best.
