About Farmed Prawns
Australians consume more prawns than any other seafood species, so they are an important component of our diet. However, local fisheries meet less than half of our current demand.
Prawn farming that is cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and socially responsible, and produces healthy and sustainable products, is a promising long-term solution to our food needs. Thailand’s prawn farming industry addresses all these issues.
Prawns are the ideal weight loss food: high in protein with almost no fat (and low kilojoules). And despite some long-standing mythology – they will not effect your cholesterol level. You can include prawns (along with fish) in the weekly seafood component recommended by various health authorities for a healthy diet.
Different prawn species have slightly different flavours, but what is most important to your enjoyment of prawns is how much flavour has been retained by the time they reach you.
Thailand Export Quality farmed prawns are frozen within a few hours of harvest using advanced freezing technology to capture that original ‘fresh’ flavour.
